Abortion study: 25 percent of Pregnancies terminated globally– WHO.

One in four pregnancies ends in abortion each year, global estimates from World Health Organization (WHO) and Guttmacher Institute Suggest.

Scientists say the annual number of abortions worldwide increased from 50 million a year between 1990-1994 to 56 million a year between 2010-2014.

The rise in numbers is mostly seen in developing world driven in part by population growth and by a desire for smaller family.
