A new health report from the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene revealed that in 2012 black women had 31,328 abortions compared with 24,758 live births.




The second highest ethnicity to have the most abortions were Hispanic women with 22,917 terminations.

Abortions regarding Hispanic and black women overwhelmingly outnumbered, whites, Asian and Pacific Islanders with 9,704 and 4,493 abortions.

According to the study, women between the ages of 20-29 have the most abortions, especially those residing in Brooklyn.
