Abortion surveillance: preliminary analysis--United States, 1996. 1998

For 1996, CDC compiled data about legal induced abortions from the 50 states, New York City, and the District of Columbia. The total number of legal induced abortions was available from all reporting areas; however, not all areas collected information about the characteristics of women who obtained abortions. This report presents preliminary data for 1996; final abortion data for 1996 will be published during spring 1999.
