Shocking Report Shows Women Having Multiple Abortions, Some Killing 10 or More Babies

A recent report from the Minnesota Department of Health has revealed a troubling trend in the state’s abortion statistics, with some women undergoing multiple abortions, including a small number who have had 10 or more.

The data, highlighted in a Substack article by pro-life journalist Sarah Terzo, underscores the scale of repeat abortions in Minnesota, raising concerns among pro-life advocates about the state’s permissive abortion policies.

According to the Minnesota Department of Health’s 2022 report, 12,175 abortions were performed in the state, a 20% increase from the previous year. Terzo’s analysis of the data revealed that among the 7,173 women who reported their abortion history, 2,791 had previously had one abortion, 1,080 had two, 465 had three, 241 had four, and 128 had five.

Shockingly, 159 women had six to nine abortions, and 29 women reported having 10 or more.

“This is a tragedy,” Terzo wrote, emphasizing that the figures reflect not only the loss of unborn lives but also the potential emotional and physical toll on women.

Terzo continued:

Repeat abortions are not a new phenomenon. In a book collecting the stories of post-abortive women, one woman recalled that in her pre-abortion “counseling” session, which consisted of an abortion worker giving a talk to a group of women, the worker told the group she’d had eight abortions.

The worker seemed to be trying to convince the women that abortion was easy and simple. By claiming she had eight abortions and had no regrets, she minimized the abortion procedure and everything these pregnant people would have to endure.

It is, of course, possible the abortion worker was lying; abortion clinic workers have been known to lie to pregnant people about fetal development and abortion’s risks in order to convince them to abort.

But as the statistics above show, she may have been telling the truth. The post-abortive woman telling the story said that the abortion worker’s admission made her feel “really kind of dirty and sick because I didn’t want to ever say that.”

But the “counseling” was successful — the pregnant woman went through with her abortion.

Minnesota’s abortion laws, which allow the procedure up to birth, have drawn sharp criticism from pro-life groups. A LifeNews.com report noted that “more than 12,000 babies were killed in 2022 alone, and a much higher number is expected in 2023.”

The state’s policies, solidified under Gov. Tim Walz, have made Minnesota a destination for out-of-state women seeking abortions, with 1,986 non-residents undergoing the procedure in 2022. Cathy Blaeser, co-executive director of Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life (MCCL), described the state’s approach as “a land of truly unlimited abortion—at the expense of women and children.”

Pro-life advocates argue that the high number of repeat abortions points to a lack of support for women facing crisis pregnancies. “Restoring protection for innocent human life will require changing the way many Minnesotans think about abortion and about the lives of unborn babies and other vulnerable persons,” MCCL said of its efforts to foster a pro-life culture through outreach and education. The group’s Center for a Pro-Life Minnesota aims to reach key communities with this message.

The data has sparked renewed calls for legislative reform and increased support for alternatives to abortion, such as pregnancy resource centers. Pro-life leaders hope to shift public perception and policy to prioritize both the lives of the unborn and the well-being of women, addressing the root causes that lead to repeat abortions.
