One in five pregnancies in the U.S. in 2020 ended in an abortion, according to data released Wednesday by the Guttmacher Institute.
The big picture: The number of abortions in the U.S. had been in decline for about 30 years until 2017, when national abortion figures were at their lowest since Roe v. Wade was decided in 1973, but the new data shows that they have been increasing since.
