Via The Hill:

The rate of abortions in the U.S. has reached “historic lows” after dropping by double-digits over the last decade, according to a new government report.

The number of women having abortions dropped 13 percent between 2002 and 2011, new data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) show.

That trend is likely due to lingering effects of the recession, reproductive health experts, such as those at the Guttmacher Institute, have said. […]

The biggest drop took place among women aged 15 to 19, which also reported a dramatic decrease in unplanned pregnancies. The rate of abortions in that age group dropped a staggering 34 percent.
