Abortion rates in Montana are at their lowest level in nearly 40 years, at least by one measure.

In 2013, there were at least 1,842 induced abortions in Montana, the lowest rate since 1975 when there were at least 1,535, according to a new report from the Department of Public Health and Human Services.

Montana’s complete resident abortion statistics are unknown because some abortions are not reported and Montanans may have the procedure performed out of state.

The decline in abortions coincides with a drop in overall pregnancy and birth rates in the state. Montana’s birth rate was at 13.1 per 1,000 residents in 2006 and dropped to a rate of 12.2 per 1,000 residents last year.

The downward trend in abortions also mirrors what is happening nationally.

Abortion rates in the United States are apparently at their lowest in 40 years, according to a report released earlier this year from the Guttmacher Institute, a private research group that supports abortion rights.
