Reported induced abortions in Wisconsin continue to decrease

The Wisconsin Department of Health Services recently released their report on induced abortions in the state of Wisconsin, complete with statistics from 2012. The report shows that the number of induced abortions in Wisconsin continues to decrease.

The report goes back to 1977, where 16,133 abortions were preformed in Wisconsin.  For every 100 live births that occurred that year, 24 children were aborted. Abortion numbers in Wisconsin continued to climb for the next few years and peaked at 21,754 in 1980. Since that year, the numbers have been steadily declining:

Dear Reader,

Every day in America, more than 2,800 preborn babies lose their lives to abortion.

That number should break our hearts and move us to action.

Ending this tragedy requires daily commitment from people like you who refuse to stay silent.

Millions read Live Action News each month — imagine the impact if each of us took a stand for life 365 days a year.

Right now, we’re urgently seeking 500 new Life Defenders (monthly donors) to join us before the end of October. And thanks to a generous $250,000 matching grant, your first monthly gift will be DOUBLED to help save lives and build a culture that protects the preborn.

Will you become one of the 500 today? Click here now to become a Live Action Life Defender and have your first gift doubled.

Together, we can end abortion and create a future where every child is cherished and every mother is supported.

1990 – 16,848
1995 – 12,782
2000 – 11,040
2005 – 9,817

This brings us to 2012, where 6,927 induced abortions were reported. For every 100 live births, 10 children were aborted. The report states that the most recent national ratio (2009) was 23 abortions for 100 live births, putting Wisconsin well below the national average.
