The Washington Post ran an article today stating that the number of abortions has dropped to its lowest since 1976 in the United States.
The number of abortions performed in the United States dropped to 1.2 million in 2005 — the lowest level since 1976, according to a new report.
The number of abortions fell at least in part because the proportion of women ending their pregnancies with an abortion dropped 9 percent between 2000 and 2005, hitting the lowest level since 1975, according to a nationwide survey.
