[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you in a state where abortion is legal?  If not, I would be super careful with birth control.  If you wind up pregnant and want to terminate for medical reasons, you may be forced to carry to term.  Or you may have a miscarriage and be unable to seek medical care for yourself until you are "sick enough."[/quote]

+1 The majority of abortion patients are not teenagers. They are married/partnered women who already have 2+ children.[/quote]

Where is the info to back this up? I've always suspected this, but don't know for sure.[/quote]

The majority are somewhere in between: https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2023/01/11/what-the-data-says-about-abortion-in-the-u-s-2/

That said, I and two other women I'm very close to (who are not friends with each other) had our first abortions between 2020 and 2023. At the time, each of us was married with two kids and in our late 30s or 40.

What are the demographics of women who had abortions in 2020?
In the 46 states that reported data to the CDC in 2020, the majority of women who had abortions (57%) were in their 20s, while about three-in-ten (31%) were in their 30s. Teens ages 13 to 19 accounted for 8% of those who had abortions, while women in their 40s accounted for 4%.

The vast majority of women who had abortions in 2020 were unmarried (86%), while married women accounted for 14%, according to the CDC, which had data on this from 39 states and New York City (but not the rest of New York).
