John 3:16 Jesus Love: For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention figures for 1996, released in 1999-JUL, showed that the highest abortion rate is in California (39 per year per 1000 women ages 15 to 44). California was followed by New York (37), Florida (27), Delaware (26) Rhode Island (24). The lowest was Wyoming with 2. These numbers are probably greatly influenced by state laws. Tough state regulations will cause significant numbers of women to travel to a nearby state for abortions. This will reduce the rate of abortions in their state of origin and increase the rate in nearby states.
Nationally, 92% of abortions were obtained within the woman's state of residence, for those women whose state of residence was known.
In some states, parental notification laws, parental consent laws, and the lack of abortion facilities result in a major reduction of the abortions performed in those states. In other states the reverse may be true: a lack of inhibiting laws and easily accessible abortion clinics may result in a major increase in the state's number of abortions. However, these data may be misleading. Some women, unable to easily obtain an abortion in their home state simply travel to a nearby state for the procedure. The percentage of legal abortions obtained by out-of-state residents in 1999 varied from 1% in Arizona, to 48.6% in Kansas and 54.9% in the District of Columbia. In the year 2000, abortions obtained by out of state residents averaged 9% of the total. This ranged from 0.4% in Hawaii to 45% in the District of Columbia.
Worldwide, about 46 million women have abortions. This represents 22% of the 210 million pregnancies that occur yearly.

For You created my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
