Survey finds a decline in teen-age abortions. Teen-age abortions have declined from 25.5 per cent of the U.S. total in 1987 to 21.5 per cent, based on questionnaire replies from women receiving abortions in 1994 and 1995. A second study attributed a significant percentage of contraceptive failure to lack of proper usage.
