The 60 percent unintended pregnancy rate in the United States has remained virtually unchanged since the early 1980s and is by far the highest in the industrialized world. Even if the United States were to achieve the 30 percent target set by the U.S. Public Health Service in its Healthy People 2000 initiative-which is unlikely without major new investments in broad-based pregnancy prevention programs-it would still have higher rates than Canada, the United Kingdom, and various northern European countries.

In 1988 President Reagan asked Dr. C. Everett Koop to prepare a Surgeon General’s report on the effects of abortion on women’s health. Dr. Koop assigned the CDC Division of Reproductive health to assist in its production. Dr. Koop had refused to publish the completed report because he claimed that the evidence for or against psychological effects was not scientifically rigorous. However, he agreed with the expert panel that Dr. Hogue’s evidence for no effect on future fertility had long been established.
