Les? Your story about demographics may be true, but there sure wasn't anything about it in that article. From the report: 42 MMWR July 3, 1998 TABLE 1. Characteristics of women who obtained legal abortions — United States, selected years, 1972– 1995 Characteristic 1972 1973 1976 1980 1985 1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 Race White 77.0 72.5 66.6 69.9 66.7 64.8 63.8 61.5 60.9 60.5 59.5 Black 23.0 27.5 33.4 30.1 29.8 31.8 32.5 33.9 34.9 34.7 35.0 Other §— — — — 3.5 3.4 3.7 4.6 4.2 4.8 5.5 Hispanic origin Hispanic - — — — — — 9.8 13.5 15.2 14.7 14.5 15.4 Non- Hispanic — — — — — 90.2 86.5 84.8 85.3 85.5 84. 6 As I suspected, the increase and decrease in abortion rates is primarily linked to the demographic shifts taking place. The recent decrease in abortion rates can be linked to the increasing proportion of teens that are Hispanic and Asian whose populations have drastically lower abortion rates than African-American teens. ??? The statistics above don't really say anything about demographics, but they show a relatively constant apportionment of abortions to the various ethnic/race groups cited. Is there something I missed? Are you maybe thinking of some other paper?
