National abortion rate lowest since before Roe v. Wade

According to the latest reports from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the number and rate of abortions in the United States are at the lowest points since 1971, two years before the Supreme Court’s decision in Roe vs. Wade.

The report is based on data gathered from 47 states. In those 47 states, 664,435 abortions were reported for 2013. The number of abortions was five percent greater just one year earlier and 20 percent greater in 2004. ABC News reports:

   
The CDC’s latest findings meshed with an Associated Press state-by-state survey conducted last year — with extensive data from 2014 — showing that abortions had been declining in virtually every state since 2010. There were big declines in conservative states passing laws to restrict abortions and also in more liberal states that protected abortion rights.
