1 in 3 pregnancies ending in abortion in Europe? I thought they were supposed to have lower rates than ours.

Very sad.

90% of women by the time they are 45 is not even statistics. “If each woman had just one aborion...” It’s just damn lies.

The study also found that, on average, 90 percent of women worldwide will have an abortion before the age of 45, based on 2003 data. However, many women will have had multiple abortions and many none at all to come to this average.

The key is in the second sentence. Then the way I see it there are so many outliers ("serial aborters") that this 90% figure is virtually useless. I would rather they came up with a figure to answer the questions: "What percentage of women will never have an abortion in their lifetime?", "What percentage of women will have 1 and only 1 abortion in their lifetime?", "2 and only 2" and etc. That would be more useful.
