About 11 abortions were performed per 1,000 women ages 15 to 44 and about 189 abortions per 1,000 live births.<\/p>\n<p>In 2019, a Marist <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kofc.org\/en\/news\/polls\/dramatic-shift-to-life.html\">poll<\/a> found that Americans are\u00a0now as likely to identify as pro-life as pro-choice, with 47 percent identifying with each label.
