Fast Facts: Abortion | Planned Parenthood Video |
|
Abortion is extremely common. In the United States, about 1 in 4 women will have an abortion by the age of 45. It’s an extremely safe process, even safer than getting your tonsils out.
Abortions do not increase your risk of cancer, infertility, or mental health issues. And a majority of people who get abortions are already parents (59% of people who have had abortions have had at least one childbirth experience). Most people in the US think abortion should be legal — over 80% of Americans want abortions to remain legal, even in states where politicians pass laws against abortions.
