There have been more than 38 million abortions in the twenty six years since the U.S. Supreme Court legalized unrestricted abortion on January 22, 1973. Except when noted, the following statistics are based on research published by the Alan Guttmacher Institute, special research affiliate of Planned Parenthood Federation of America--the nation's largest provider and promoter of abortion. Esitmates for 1997 and 1998 are based on trends from previous years. In the past, AGI has estimated a possible 3-6% rate of underreporting. The following uses the lower figure.
