As of 2010[update], the abortion rate was 26.5 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15 to 44, among the highest rates in the world.[7] By an alternate measure, however, abortion fell between 2005 and 2010: a 2005 study found that women in Georgia had on average 3.1 abortions in their lifetimes, then the highest rate in the world; by 2010, that statistic had fallen to 1.6 abortions.[6]
