During 1990–1997, the number of legal induced abortions gradually declined. When the same 48 reporting areas were compared, the number of abortions decreased during 1996–2001, then slightly increased in 2002. In 2000 and 2001, even with one additional reporting state, the number of abortions declined slightly, with a minimal increase in 2002. Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, Abortion Surveillance — United States, 2002. http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/ss5407a1.htm. The number of abortions increased during the Reagan/Bush 41 administrations, decreased during the Clinton administration, and began to trend upwards after bush 43 took office.>
