The U.S. cannot be represented by a single category since it no longer has a minimum standard of abortion protection—laws vary by state. Some countries with restrictive abortion laws do make exceptions in cases of rape and incest. While the graphic uses the terms "woman" and "women," we recognize that not all pregnant people identify as women.
* The definition of "health" can vary by country.
† Estimates of abortions and unintended pregnancies are for the period 2015-2019 and have significant margins of error, especially in countries with restrictive laws. See Bearak et al. 2022 for more details on the model estimates and margins of error.
‡ Ages 15-49 are considered reproductive age.
