* Data from 40 reporting areas; excludes 12 areas (California, District of Columbia, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York City, New York State, Oklahoma, Wisconsin, and Wyoming) that did not report, did not report by the number of previous induced abortions, or did not meet reporting standards.

Percentages for the individual component categories might not add to 100% because of rounding.

§ Percentage is calculated as the number of abortions reported by known number of previous induced abortions divided by the sum of abortions reported by known and unknown number of previous induced abortions. Values ≥99.95% are rounded to 100.0%.

Reporting to the central health agency is not required. Data are requested from hospitals and licensed ambulatory care facilities only.

** Percentage is based on a total of 477,922 abortions reported among the areas that met reporting standards for the number of previous induced abortions.
