Content: From 1973 to 2017 the Guttmacher Institute has estimated a total of 58,177,900 abortions. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) also monitors abortions in the United States. Since 1997 they have received incomplete results or no abortion statistics from various states including Maryland, California, and New Hampshire. The latest figures from the CDC were 619,591 abortions in 2019. A total of 46,507,670 abortions have been reported to the CDC from 1973 to 2018. Using the Guttmacher Institute numbers, we estimate there have been more than 60 million abortions in the United States from 1973 through 2020. According to the CDC, 40.1 percent of the women who had abortions in 2018 had obtained an abortion previously in their life. 16.3 percent of women who aborted had two or more previous abortions. In 2018, 33.6 percent of abortions were performed on non-Hispanic Black women. Only 12.6 percent of the U.S. population is non-Hispanic Black according to the 2010 census.
