[Abortions in Germany-results of federal statistics].

After a decline in the number of annual abortions from around 130,000 in the years 1996 to 2004 to around 100,000 since 2013/14, there was recently a certain increase again to 106,000 abortions in 2023. The decline from 2004 to 2013 was driven by a decrease in the number of women of childbearing age and a lower probability of having an abortion in the key age groups. When comparing the result structures over time, the constant development towards the use of Mifegyne® is noticeable.
