Uruguay has a rate of nine abortions per thousand women between 15 and 44 years, which somehow puts us in the lower positions in the world, even lower than the countries of Western Europe, which reported 12 outages each thousand women, "he said.
Of total abortions, 41% were performed by the public sector and 59% by the private sector. bipolar Most abortions happened in Montevideo, around 64%, while in the countryside were recorded 36%.
