An abortion is the termination of a pregnancy by the removal or expulsion of an embryo or fetus from the uterus, resulting in or caused by its death.

The figure is based on the latest statistics on worldwide abortions published by the World Health Organization (WHO).

According to WHO every year in the world there are around 73 million induced abortions. This corresponds to approximately 200,000 abortions per day.

Worldometer statistics show that no less than 435,963 abortions have been committed globally in from Jan 1 at 00:00 up to now.

Recall that WHO said unsafe abortion is a leading cause of maternal deaths and morbidities.

“Six out of 10 of all unintended pregnancies end in induced abortion. Around 45 per cent of all abortions are unsafe, of which 97 per cent take place in developing countries.

“Lack of access to safe, timely, affordable and respectful abortion care is a critical public health and human rights issue,” it said.

Meanwhile, abortion is still prohibited in nearly 20 countries, including many African nations, among them Egypt, Senegal, Gabon, Madagascar and Mauritania.
