Notes:

Some figures for 2002-2014 (indicated by *) are incomplete.
Estimated abortions for 2015-2017 are the compiler's estimates based on partial state reporting.
Figures or abortions by residents are based on data from different sources and are not a consistent time series.
Parenthetical figures are estimates, some of which are derived from reported data.
Abortion ratios, percentages, and rates may be based on a mix of data from different sources and thus may not represent a consistent time series.
