* Data from 36 states and New York City; excludes three states where number of unknown previous live births was 15%.
+ Percentages may not add to 100. 0 because of rounding.
& Indicates number of living children.
@ Calculated as the number of legal abortions obtained by women with a given number of previous live births per 1,000 live births to women with the
same number of previous live births for these states. For each state, women whose number of previous live births was unknown were distributed
according to the known number of previous live births for that state. Ratios exclude Maryland and Rhode Island because the number of previous live
births was unknown for these reporting areas.
