Interesting Statistics

[ClassyLady]

I found these statistics in a recent article on women's sexual health.

** Half of all pregnancies are accidents
** 85% of sexually active women not using contraception will become pregnant within a year
** 54% of unplanned pregnancies end in abortion (approximately 1.4 million each year)
** 700,000 abortions could be averted every year if emergency contraception were sold over the counter
** It would only cost a business $1.43 to cover an employee's birth control for a month
** 4,000 infant deaths could be prevented annually if all pregnancies in the United States were planned
** 20% of American women have used emergency contraception
** 1 in 12,382 women correctly answered 15 questions about fertility in a survey

Any more interesting stats on anything, post here.
