(CNSNews.com) - There were approximately 43,800,000 induced abortions worldwide in 2008, according to an estimate that was published by The Lancet in January 2012, and that was cited as the source for global abortion numbers in a Guttmacher Institute briefing paper—entitled “Facts on Abortion Worldwide”—that was published in November.
The Lancet article—"Induced abortion incidence and trends worldwide from 1995 to 2008"--was produced by a group of researchers for the Guttmacher Institute, who were joined by a researcher from the World Health Organization.
