I think the bit that is most relevent to what I was getting at was:
"Most abortions were obtained by white women, unmarried women, and women less than 25 years of age. As in previous years, about one-fifth of women who had abortions were 19 years old or younger. Of the women who had an abortion, 39 percent were known to have had no previous live births."
So 20% of abortions are teenagers, and at least 40% are abortions from women who had not had live birth (60% either have children, or unknown).
