NHS says 1 out of 5 for the UK. That's still a lot.

It's fairly recently been discovered that the majority of miscarriages occur because there is something wrong with the embryo that means it simply is not viable - I.e. it would die anyway or be severely deformed.

So, if you happened to be religious (I personally am not) you could argue that God supports (performs?) Abortions when there is a problem with the embryo, but not when the development is healthy.

Of course, the religion skeptic in me automatically jumps to: "If god exists, why would he create defective embryos in the first place?"
