The CDC found that the vast majority (85.5%) of women who obtained an abortion were unmarried. It also found that mostly younger women were obtaining abortions in America. “Women in their 20s accounted for the majority of abortions and had the highest abortion rates,” the CDC explained.

The abortion rate was also considerable among teen girls.

According to the CDC, “In 2011, adolescents aged … 15–19 years accounted for … 13.5% of all abortions … and had abortion rates of … 10.5 abortions per 1,000 adolescents aged … 15–19 years.”
