The abortion rate has taken a steep dive in the last few years, according to a new study reported on Thursday.

The abortion rate has fallen 25 percent between 2008 and 2012, the American Journal of Public Health said in its report published Thursday. There were 19.4 abortions per 1,000 women between the ages of 15 and 44 in 2008, and that number fell to 14.6 per 1,000 in 2012.

In 2008, the researchers estimated that 30 percent of women aged 15 to 44 years would have an abortion by age 45, but they found that the abortion rate has declined substantially since that time — falling 14 percent between 2011 and 2014 alone.
