* In spring 2013, the collection of statistics about abortions was stopped. On the 1st of January 2014, collection of abortion statistics was resumed and the method for collecting data was changed. Therefore the abortion statistics for 2013 is not existing in this statistic and data for 2014 and later is not comparable to the earlier data.
