The stats I have found support that nearly 60% of legal abortions are performed for white/other races...those stats are probably skewed a bit because in states that have almost no minority population, like SD, the rate is nearly 77% while states like AL are at 60%. I am using the Kaiser Foundation statistics...the interesting thing is that AL, GA, LA and MS have the highest abortion rates by black women...and since 2000, abortions in the black population have actually gone down while whites remain the same...education and birth control was working...

In my state, PA, the stat is about 50/50...

You are correct that the number of abortions are probably performed on lower economic groups...private insurance and payments can easily be left out of reporting requirements...I know many women who simply had "miscarriages" reported...
