Actually it is true that only 1/1000 abortions are for a real reason but thats counting the whole world not just the U.S.
In countries like India millions of babies are aborted (mostly female) because there when a girl gets married her family must pay a dowry to the husband and they only benefit from male babies. In some towns in India the (surviving) Boy to Girl ratio is 100:75 or even worse in some occasions.
