According to The Center of Bio-ethical Reform, 4,000 abortions take place everyday, and many of these abortions end with complications which are damaging to the female body. It also gives a shocking figure stating that 50% of those abortions are for women under the age of 25 and 20% are teenagers. However, it does not state where these statistics were retrieved from which means that the statistics given can not be 100% reliable. In the article, it is also said that the US government help fund 15% of abortions. This was the case until a bill was passed by the Florida Legislature stating that abortions were not to be funded by the government anymore. The only time it would be allowed is if the mother's life was to be in risk. It is said that abortion levels will probably rise in other areas of the country due to this.
