Abortion

Abortion

According to estimates by the World Health Organization, 56 million abortions were performed worldwide each year between 2010 and 2014 – and of these 25 million were unsafe abortions, almost all of them in the global South. In these countries, some seven million people are admitted to hospitals each year as a result of unsafe abortion, and at least 22,000 people die annually from complications of abortion. In Germany some 101,000 pregnancies were terminated in 2019, of which around 25,000 were medical abortions.
