Officials are cautious about calling small increases in the abortion rate and numbers an upward trend because the CDC report is incomplete.
U.S. abortions appear to be inching up after a long decline, though officials are cautious about calling it an upward trend because a government report issued Wednesday is incomplete.
They rose 1 percent in 2018. The next year, the numbers increased 2 percent and the rate per 1,000 women of child-bearing age rose 1 percent.. But it must be interpreted cautiously because it is based on voluntary reporting and is not comprehensive, experts say. Despite the CDC report’s limitations, it generally has painted a similar overall picture to what Guttmacher reports, said Rachel Jones, the lead researcher on that project.for more than a decade, meaning for years both births and abortions have been falling.
An increase could be related to access and use of birth control, and it may even be tied to whether more people are having sex, she said.
