In 2016, the Guttmacher Institute conducted a study on abortion in the United States. Let's break down the statements to determine which one is true based on the study:
A) The number of abortions has been decreasing among the poor.
- This statement could be true if the study found a decline in the number of abortions among individuals with lower incomes. If the study reported a decrease in abortion rates among the poor, then this statement would be accurate.
B) Two-thirds of abortions occur within the first two months of pregnancy.
- This statement is a common statistic related to the timing of abortions. If the study confirmed that approximately two-thirds of abortions indeed occur within the first two months of pregnancy, then this statement would be correct.
C) The number of abortions has been increasing among higher income women.
- This statement could be true if the study revealed a rise in the number of abortions among women with higher incomes. If the data showed an increase in abortion rates among wealthier individuals, then this statement would be accurate.
D) About 80% of abortions are repeat abortions.
- This statement would be true if the study found that around 80% of abortions were performed on individuals who had undergone a previous abortion. If the research indicated that repeat abortions accounted for a significant portion of total abortions, then this statement would be correct.
To determine the accurate statement according to the Guttmacher Institute study, we would need to review the specific findings of the research regarding each of these statements. Each statement represents a different aspect of abortion trends in the United States, and the correct answer would align with the study's results on these specific points.
