British Columbia Sees Number of Abortions Increase as Canada Numbers Drop

Vancouver, Canada (LifeNews.com) -- The number of abortions in Canada may be on the decline but the province of British Columbia isn't enjoying the decrease. Canada experienced fewer abortions in 2005 according to new national figures in May. Overall, Statistics Canada indicates abortions lowered to 96,815 during that year, a decline of 3.2 percent from the 100,039 in 2004. But BC women had more abortions with hospitals and private abortion businesses doing 14,444 in 2005 compared with 14,145 in 2004. Most other provinces saw a decline with a drop of 16 percent in Manitoba, 4.4 percent in Quebec, and 4.7 percent in Ontario.The only other province to see an increase was New Brunswick, where abortions increased from 920 in 2004 to 941 the following year. There were 105,154 abortions performed in Canada in 2002, according to Statistics Canada, showing abortions have been on the decline in recent years as they have been in the U.S. The agency noted the abortion rate -- the number of abortions for every 1,000 women -- dropped as well. It went from 14.6 in 2004 to 14.1 for women aged 15 to 44 in 2005.
