THE ANSWER
No, according to data from recent years there have been record-low abortion rates in the U.S. since abortion was legalized in 1973.
WHAT WE FOUND
According to statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), from 2009 through 2018, the total number of reported abortions, abortion rates and abortion ratios (the number of abortions per 1,000 live births) decreased by 22%.
The CDC reports the data through its abortion surveillance report, which is a compilation of data from central health agencies in 49 states. The CDC doesn’t have more recent data due to data access limitations, Bert Kelly, a spokesperson for the CDC, told VERIFY.
