Between 1960 and 1991, abortions increased 800 percent.(7)
The general consensus is that, subsequent to the 1973 Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton decisions legalizing abortion-on-demand, there have been, and continues to be, well over 1,000,000 surgical abortions committed each year. The number of chemical abortions, caused by abortifacient birth control, is estimated to be 14,000,000 each year.(8 )
Sadly, despite the Catholic Church's clear teaching on abortion that it is an intrinsically evil act a 1996 study by the Alan Guttmacher Institute has shown that Catholic women are more likely to procure abortions than Protestant women.(9)
In fact, Catholic women make up 31 percent of the population and account for 31 percent of the abortions.(10)
(An interesting side note: A major finding of the survey was that 57.5 percent of women aborting their children say they were using a contraceptive the month they became pregnant.)(11)
