...those visas expire, they're not being renewed under policies that seek to control more closely who gets into the U.S. The heightened border security has not, however, stopped undocumented Mexicans from getting in.

In 2000, the latest year for which Guttmacher has compiled statistics, the abortion rate was 21.3 abortions per 1,000 women ages 15 to 44, which was the lowest since 1974 and down from a peak of 29.3 abortions per 1,000 women in 1980 and 1981.
