How are the number of annual abortions in the United States distributed by race? And how does that compare to the distribution of the potential child-bearing (Age 15-44) population of the United States by race? Or for that matter, how does that compare to the racial distribution of the poor in the United States, as measured by enrollment of the non-elderly in Medicaid?
Our chart below provides the demographic snapshot of what we found in answering each question asked above, for the years spanning 2008 through 2010:
