I was referring to the following paragraph from the article:

***
Approximately 58% of women who obtained legal induced abortions were white (Table 9). The abortion ratio for black women was 534 per 1,000 live births; this was approximately 2.5 times the ratio for white women (204 per 1,000 live births). The abortion ratio (335 per 1,000 live births) for women of other races was approximately 1.6 times the ratio for white women. In addition, the abortion rate for black women (31 per 1,000) was approximately 2.5 times the rate for white women (12 per 1,000 women).

I had seen an earlier article that by 2000-2002 half of 18 year-olds would be hispanic and asian immigrant. This would seem to indicate that teen births would decline if the group with the highest abortion rate were to decline as a proportion.
