Restoration News announced that Generation Alpha, born between 2010 and 2026, has experienced an estimated 15.7 million abortions out of 61 million potential births—a 25.8 percent rate—largely driven by the use of the abortion pill mifepristone, which accounts for 63 percent of abortions.
According to Restoration News, Generation Alpha's abortion rate surpasses that of Millennials at 18 percent and Gen Z at 21 percent. The article highlights that mifepristone, approved in 2001, facilitates at-home procedures but poses risks such as serious side effects in one in ten cases. It also references the Comstock Act's ban on mailing abortion materials, which has been unenforced under recent administrations. States like Texas and Louisiana have sued the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) over mail access.
Data from the Texas Department of State Health Services indicates that abortions in Texas fell dramatically to 60 in 2023 from 50,783 in 2021 following a near-total ban, marking a decline of 99.9 percent. This legislative change has led to increased travel to states like New Mexico, where abortions have risen by 220 percent. These shifts underscore how state-level restrictions are affecting regional access.
The Guttmacher Institute reported that there were approximately 1,038,000 clinician-provided abortions in U.S. states without total bans in 2024. This figure represents less than a one percent increase from the previous year and a twelve percent rise since 2020. Nationally, the abortion rate was recorded at 15.4 per thousand women aged between fifteen and forty-four years old. On a global scale, data from the World Health Organization shows around seventy-three million induced abortions occur annually with sixty-one percent of unintended pregnancies ending in abortion.
