The following lists include countries by total reported abortions, annual abortions and rates according to reports from governments and statisticians.

Country Total Reported[1][2][3][4]
 China 336,000,000+
 India 100,000,000+
 United States 62,000,000+

The CDC or Guttmacher estimates do not account for medical abortions outside a clinic.[5] Some analysts have estimated that the cumulative amount of abortions in the United States may have reached seventy million[6] and that up to two million abortions occurred annually.[7][8] The Soviet Union had more than 200 million reported abortions throughout its history according to the Johnstons Archive.[9] Since legalization in 1967, there have been 9,331,978 abortions in the United Kingdom according to government reports collected by the Johnstons Archive.[10] In 1974, the Max Planck Society estimated that twenty million abortions had possibly occurred in West Germany since the Second World War.[11]

Note that the Guttmacher study numbers used in the table below are estimates based on statistical models and are not actual reported numbers. [12]
