Is there a website providing this type of data? I know many women who became mothers even though they weren't planning for it, and on TV shows such as Maury, Judge Hatchett, and many others, every day hundreds of people are trying to figure out the parternity of a child who was conceived by accident. What do you think the ratio is to babies who were conceived intentionally vs accidentally? Do you think the percentage of unplanned pregnancies will decrease or increase in the years to come?

Please include a website where you found the data, when possible. I'm not interested in opinions; I'm looking for facts. Thank you.

The study found there were 6.4 million pregnancies in the United States in 2001, resulting in about 4 million births. There were 1.3 million abortions and 1.1 million miscarriages. The pregnancies were almost evenly divided between intended and unintended, and the unintended ones led to almost even numbers of births and abortions.

38 percent of the 210 million pregnancies that occur worldwide each year are unplanned.As far as the US is concerned, poor women in America are more likely to have unwanted pregnancies, whereas relatively affluent women are succeeding more and more in getting pregnant only when they want to, according to a study analyzing federal statistics. Researchers attributed the high rates of unplanned pregnancy and abortion worldwide to inadequate use of contraception.

I have read that the figure is 50 percent, but I have no data to back this up.

probably 50 percent, if not more. unplanned pregnancies are increasing and is wrong especially for people who are underage, unmarried, or don't want kids. i wish they would think more about what they are doing.
