&lt;em&gt;The available numbers could be telling only part of the truth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
An RTI query has revealed that for the first time in this decade, the number of abortions in Mumbai has fallen. But are abortions on the decline in the country as a whole?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Going by the data that we have from the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW), the trend has show an increase in abortions,&amp;quot; says Poonam Muttreja, Executive Director of the Population Foundation of India. MoHFW data shows that despite a general declining trend in the mid-2000s, there was an uptick in the last few years for which data was available. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;However, these numbers underestimate the actual incidence of abortion for several reasons,&amp;quot; Ms. Muttreja said. For instance, she pointed out, they exclude abortions done by physicians who do not work in certified facilities, those performed by health professionals who do not have specific training or by untrained providers, and those using abortion pills without a prescription.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another set of data comes from women themselves, through household surveys. Based on this data, nationally, the abortion rate &amp;mdash; the number of abortions for every 100 pregnancies &amp;mdash; has been on the decline. While data on abortion from the latest round of the National Family Health Survey is not yet available, data from the District Level Health Survey shows that abortion rates declined in most states in the period between 2007-08 and 2012-13.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nationally, in 2014, 1.7% of all pregnancies in rural areas and 3.1% in urban areas resulted in an abortion, according to the National Sample Survey Office. This is a globally low number; the United States, for instance, has an abortion rate that is close to 15%.&lt;br /&gt;

But are abortions on the decline in the country as a whole?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;Going by the data that we have from the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW), the trend has show an increase in abortions,&amp;quot; says Poonam Muttreja, Executive Director of the Population Foundation of India. MoHFW data shows that despite a general declining trend in the mid-2000s, there was an uptick in the last few years for which data was available. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;However, these numbers underestimate the actual incidence of abortion for several reasons,&amp;quot; Ms. Muttreja said. For instance, she pointed out, they exclude abortions done by physicians who do not work in certified facilities, those performed by health professionals who do not have specific training or by untrained providers, and those using abortion pills without a prescription.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another set of data comes from women themselves, through household surveys. Based on this data, nationally, the abortion rate &amp;mdash; the number of abortions for every 100 pregnancies &amp;mdash; has been on the decline. While data on abortion from the latest round of the National Family Health Survey is not yet available, data from the District Level Health Survey shows that abortion rates declined in most states in the period between 2007-08 and 2012-13.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nationally, in 2014, 1.7% of all pregnancies in rural areas and 3.1% in urban areas resulted in an abortion, according to the National Sample Survey Office.

But are abortions on the decline in the country as a whole? "Going by the data that we have from the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW), the trend has show an increase in abortions," says Poonam Muttreja, Executive Director of the Population Foundation of India. MoHFW data shows that despite a general declining trend in the mid-2000s, there was an uptick in the last few years for which data was available. "However, these numbers underestimate the actual incidence of abortion for several reasons," Ms. Muttreja said. For instance, she pointed out, they exclude abortions done by physicians who do not work in certified facilities, those performed by health professionals who do not have specific training or by untrained providers, and those using abortion pills without a prescription.
