The number of abortions in France rose by nearly 3% in 2025, with 259,416 procedures performed, according to the Ministry of Health. This marks a 2.9% increase from 2024 and a 3.14% rise from 2023. The rate of voluntary termination of pregnancy (IVG, or "interruption volontaire de grossesse" in French) is 17.8 per 1,000 women aged 15 to 49. The majority of these procedures occur among women aged 20 to 29, with the highest rates among those aged 20-24 (29.7 per 1,000) and 25-29 (30.3 per 1,000). Most abortions are performed medically, with 81% of IVG requests in 2025 using this method—up slightly from 2024. The medicinal method involves two drugs, mifépristone and misoprostol, while the instrumental method, which requires anesthesia, is available up to sixteen weeks of amenorrhea (the time since the last menstrual period). In 2025, 91% of women aged 25 and older had abortions before ten weeks of amenorrhea, compared to 86% of those under 25. This difference influences the type of procedure used, with 60% of IVG procedures among younger women taking place in hospitals, compared to 49% for those aged 25 and over. The instrumental method is more frequently used by younger women, accounting for 39% of procedures for those under 25, compared to 34% for older women. Midwives working in private clinics performed the majority of IVG procedures in 2025, with 59,680 procedures—up 15% from 2024—compared to 26,490 by gynecologists and 22,208 by general practitioners. There are persistent regional disparities in IVG use, with higher rates observed in overseas territories, except for Mayotte, where the rate is lower than in some parts of mainland France. The average IVG rate in overseas territories is 33.0 per 1,000 women, nearly double the rate in mainland France. In Guadeloupe and Guyane, the rate exceeds 45‰, though the figure in Guyane might be inflated due to the inclusion of non-resident women. According to the Drees (French health statistics agency), 83% of IVG procedures occur in the department where the woman resides, and 95% within her region. Disparities between departments are significant, with only 55% of women in the Ain department undergoing IVG in that department, compared to 96% in the Alpes-Maritimes. These differences are linked to the availability of healthcare services within a department and its neighboring areas. The data highlights the need for improved access to reproductive health services across all regions to address the existing inequalities. While the overall number of abortions has increased slightly, the distribution of procedures remains uneven, influenced by both geographic and demographic factors.
