The total number of abortions in the United States since 1973 is estimated to be around 63 to 65 million. One source, the National Right to Life Committee, estimates about 63.5 million abortions since 1973 based on data from the Guttmacher Institute and the CDC. Another source provides a total figure of about 65.5 million abortions from 1973 to recent years, based on adjusted Guttmacher Institute data. Abortion numbers peaked in 1990 at about 1.6 million annually, then declined for several decades, with some increases reported in recent years. The figure for 2023 was estimated to be over 1 million abortions. Thus, the widely accepted range for the total number of abortions in the U.S. since 1973 is approximately between 63 million and 65 million.
