abortions by residents, in/out of state, 1985 (AGI): data from the Alan Guttmacher Institute is generally more complete than data from other sources.

abortions by residents, in/out of state, 2004 (AGI): data from the Alan Guttmacher Institute is generally more complete than data from other sources.

abortions by residents, in/out of state, 2001-2004 (CDC/state data): most recent data, either from the respective states or from the Centers for Disease Control (which is based on state reporting); this data is often less complete. Several states did not report data to the CDC for 2001; for these states, figures are derived from state reports when available or from the 1997 CDC figures.

abortions occurring in state, 2005 (AGI): the latest data reported by the Alan Guttmacher Institute is by state of occurrence, often markedly different than data by state of residence due to the frequency of out-of-state abortions.

abortions occurring in state, 2001-2004 (CDC/state data): the latest official data, either state data from 2002-2004 or CDC data from 2001, often markedly different than data by state of residence due to the frequency of out-of-state abortions.

abortions, by residents, merged CDC/state data: data reported by state health/statistical agencies, if available at the county level, with 1999 CDC data for remaining states. Years of data from state agencies varies but is in the range of 1991 to 2003.
