I have to question that number. There are roughly 112 million Americans aged 18 to 44, which is a good enough approximation for childbearing year. If half of those are women, that's 56 million women.
There are 4 million babies born in the US, that means there are 52 million women not having a baby in a given year.
You're suggesting that roughly 2% of eligible American women are getting pregnant, deciding they don't want to be, and having abortions every year? Or that nearly 20% of all American pregnancies are terminated?
I'm probably wasting time responding to an offtopic post by an AC, but that number just doesn't make any sense to me.
