LATEST COMPARATIVE ABORTION RATES FOR 2010 The Council of Europe's final demographic report for 2005, (published June 2006 ) was its last. The CoE reports and their comprehensive demographic data were excellent. The data showed clearly what is wrong with Europe’s ethos and showed a dying continent. CoE decided to jettison demographic statistics and stick to promoting the politically correct “human rights” it pursues, some of which aggravate Europe’s problems. An abortion rate over 100% of live-births means more abortions than births. To replace CoE abortion data, the figures below are reinforced and updated from William Robert Johnston’s painstaking research. Johnson is assistant professor of surgery at Minnesota Medical School and studies world data on abortion. The last update of the website was 11th November 2011. Country

* The Figures for Austria are only for abortions in public hospitals. ** The figures for Ireland are those taking place in England and Wales. Sources: Recent Demographic Developments in Europe 2005 (Council of Europe, June, 2006) and William Robert Johnston’s Abortion Statistics and Other Data: http://www.johnstonsarchive.net/policy/abortion/index.html In general all abortions figures may understate and should be accepted cautiously. Abortion figures from socialized countries like the UK, the Nordic countries and most of Europe can be assumed to be fairly accurate. In other countries that is not the case. The total figure for the United States is very much an estimate as some states do not report to the CDC. China and India’s abortion situation can only be estimated.

Abortions as a %of Births † Ireland, Malta and Cyprus do not perform abortions, these figures are for abortions performed in other countries. †† Cyprus and Poland both have figures well under 1% of abortions to live births, this makes it difficult to chart them in comparison to countries like the Russian Federation with a figure of over 80%. The figures are, .08% for Cyprus and .1% for Poland.
