However, pregnancy rates among Hispanic and black teens and young women were more than double that of their white counterparts.
The percentage of births wanted at conception fell from 90 percent in 1996 to 86 percent in 2003, with just 74 percent of black women, 83 percent Hispanic women and 89 percent of white women saying their pregnancies were planned.
Some 37 percent of pregnancies for black women ended in abortion, compared with 12 percent for white women and 19 percent for Hispanic women.”*
