      More findings from the CDC report:

    • -The majority of abortions are performed by the eighth week of pregnancy, when the fetus is about the size of a lima bean.

      -White women had the lowest abortion rate, at about 8.5 abortions per 1,000 women of child-bearing age; the rate for black women was about four times that. The rate for Hispanic women was about 19 per 1,000.

      -About 85 percent of those who got abortions were unmarried.

      -The CDC identified 12 abortion-related deaths in 2009.
