1. Switzerland
Number of abortions per 1,000 women: 5
With only five terminated pregnancies per 1,000 women, Switzerland tops our list of 10 countries with lowest abortion rates in the world in 2018. The low abortion rate is mainly influenced by the widespread use of contraceptives. As a matter of fact, two-thirds of women who underwent an abortion in Switzerland reported using contraceptives at the time they became pregnant.
