Although the numbers are a bit different here, maybe he’s referencing a newer data set. Still it’s shocking:
> non-Hispanic Black women had the highest abortion rate (21.2 abortions per 1,000 women) and ratio (335 abortions per 1,000 live births)
- dimitrios1 5y agoNo sorry, it is my numbers that are outdated. I was referencing a 2015 congressional report. Abortion rates have been declining sharply over the past few years, so that's good news at least.
- kelnos 5y agoDepends on why. If rates have been declining because people are more educated about birth control and family planning, that's good news indeed. If it's because of new restrictions on access to abortion, that's not fixing the problem at all.
