According to data provided by the Ministry of Health last year nationwide, about 80,000 women had abortions. More than half of them have asked the doctor to perform the procedure. Most women who aborted are from the city. About 40,000 of the total number of abortions. The number of women from the rural area who had abortions is by 2,000 lower.
It is worrying that from the total number of women who aborted last year, 544 of them had not even turned 15. And about 8,000 of them were between 15 and 19 years. Most cases, over 19,000 are registered, however, among young women aged between 25 and 29 years. And about 17,000 of them are aged between 30 and 34 years.
Women aged from 25 to 29 years are leading when it comes to abortion on demand. 10.810. Followed by the 20-24 years category with 9252 cases. And 9207 cases were registered among women aged between 30 and 34 years. One thing, however, is gratifying. Compared to 2013, the number of abortions is less by 8,061.
