Earlier this week Family Council obtained data from the Arkansas Health Department showing the number of abortions performed on women from each county in Arkansas from 2014 – 2016.
One of the ways abortion numbers are measured is the abortion rate.
The abortion rate is defined as the number of abortions per 1,000 women ages 15-44.
Using data from the U.S. Census Bureau, we calculated the abortion rate for each county in Arkansas from 2014 – 2016.
Below are the ten counties with the highest abortion rates, as of 2016.
