Does Plan B Prevent Abortions & Teenage Pregnancy?
Between 2000 and 2004, there were 16,668 abortions performed in Utah–an average of 4,167/year. According to the Utah Health Department’s most recent stats, there were 3,516 abortions in 2007. While that shows a slight decrease, Planned Parenthood estimates that they administer almost 39,000 cycles of Plan B throughout Utah each year, indicating that abortions may be on the decline but the number of potential unplanned pregnancies seems large.
