List of countries by abortion rate

The following lists include countries by total reported abortions, annual abortions and rates according to reports from governments and statisticians.

The CDC or Guttmacher estimates do not account for medical abortions outside a clinic.^[1] Some analysts have estimated that the cumulative number of abortions in the United States may have reached a hundred million^[2] and that up to two million abortions occur annually.^[3] The Soviet Union had more than 200 million reported abortions throughout its history according to the Johnstons Archive.^[4] Since legalization in 1967, there have been 9,331,978 abortions in the United Kingdom according to government reports collected by the Johnstons Archive.^[5]

The Guttmacher study numbers used in the table below are estimates based on statistical models and are not actual reported numbers.^[6]
