More than one third of U.S. women will have had an abortion by age 45

Some 35 per cent of women will have had an abortion by the time they are aged 45, a new report has claimed. The pro-abortion rights Alan Guttmacher Institute also reported that 93 per cent of all abortions occur for 'social reasons.' Those include instances such as the mother deciding the child is unwanted or 'inconvenient.' And, surprisingly, the institute claimed that 31 per cent of all abortions performed nationwide are on Catholic women. It also said 18 per cent are performed on born-again Christians or evangelicals. Both religious groups preach against terminating pregnancies.
