Abortion Rate Increasing Among Poor Women, Even As It Decreases Among Most Other Groups
guttmacher.org — “New Guttmacher research finds that abortion rates declined among most groups of women between 2000 and 2008. However, one notable exception was poor women (those with family incomes less than 100% of the federal poverty level). Poor women accounted for 42% of all abortions in 2008, and their abortion rate increased 18% between 2000 and 2008, from 44.4 to 52.2 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–44.” View full resource at guttmacher.org

Disparities in Unintended Pregnancy Grow, Even As National Rate Stagnates
guttmacher.org — “A new analysis from the Guttmacher Institute shows that the overall U.S. unintended pregnancy rate has remained essentially unchanged since 1994, even as the rate increased dramatically among poor women and decreased substantially among higher-income women. In 2006, poor women had an unintended pregnancy rate five times that of higher-income women, and an unintended birth rate six times as high.” View full resource at guttmacher.org

guttmacher.org — “Because most abortions result from unintended pregnancies—and many from repeat unintended pregnancies—better access to affordable and effective contraceptive services and supplies for women who obtain abortions should be a high priority. Virtually all abortion providers offer at least some postabortion contraceptive services, yet for many women, the facility at which they obtain an abortion is unable to fully meet their needs.” View full resource at guttmacher.org
