Abortion is defined as the purposeful induced termination of a pregnancy.  Induced abortions can be an indicator of the incidence of unintended pregnancies and access to family planning services.  Typically the Michigan abortion rate has been lower than the U.S. rate.  In 1998, slightly more than 80 percent of induced abortions were to unmarried women.
