50% of South African Pregnancies end in abortion

Fifty percent of all pregnancies in South Africa end up in abortion and more than 500 000 women have had the procedure done since the introduction of the new laws in 1997.

The statistics were released on Thursday at a symposium on the issue organised by Ipas, an international NGO trying to prevent unsafe abortions around the world.
