Abortion rate hits record low

The U.S. abortion rate has declined by more than one-third over the past two decades to a record low, federal officials reported Friday. Abortions fell 35 percent between 1990 and 2010, reaching 17.7 procedures per 1,000 women aged 15 to 44, said report lead author Sally Curtin, a statistician for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Health Statistics. That’s the lowest abortion rate since the CDC began tracking the procedure in 1976, Curtin said/ CBS News . More here .

Question: We can all agree that it’s a good thing that abortions are declining, right?
