Currently, about half of all pregnancies in the United States are unplanned -- which translates roughly into three million unplanned pregnancies each year.

Although teen pregnancy in the United States have declined by about one-third since the early 1990's, three in ten girls in the United States get pregnant by age 20. The U.S. still leads the fully industrialized world in teen pregnancy by a wide margin. In fact, the U.S. rates are nearly double those of Great Britain, at least four times those of France and Germany, and more than ten times that of Japan.

Over half (55 percent) of all unplanned pregnancies occur to women in their twenties.

Between 1994 and 2001, the rate of unwanted pregnancy for women age 15-44 actually increased slightly (4 percent) — from 31.9 to 33.2 unwanted pregnancies per 1,000 women.

All of the above information gathered from The National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy.
