  The abortion rate in the U.S. has dropped since 1980 from nearly 30 per 1,000 women of childbearing age to less than 20.

• In medical senses, per is followed by the name of an orifice in Latin rather than English (for example, per os, per rectum, per vaginam); in the postwar era there has been a continual shift toward preferring an English equivalent, especially but not solely when communicating with patients: by mouth or orally, rectally, vaginally, etc. (More at Wikipedia at plain language.)

per

1. archaic form of por

   Fazia tudo per amor! ― I did everything for love!

2. archaic form of para
