New York City has included abortion data in its vital statistics report since 1962. The city’s vital statistics report for 2016 reveals that abortion in the Big Apple is continuing to decline, although the abortion rate is still high compared to the rest of the nation.
Abortion Totals and Trends
Abortion has been legal in New York since 1970. In 2016, there were 59,854 abortions reported in the city. Since 1971, the first full year after abortion was legalized, New York City abortions have dropped by 70 percent. Abortion has declined by six percent from 2015, when 63,646 abortions were reported in the city. Chemical abortions continue to represent a growing percentage of New York City abortions. In 2016 there were 12,491 chemical abortions reported, a 14 percent increase from 2015, and a 279 percent increase from 2001, the first year after the Food and Drug Administration approved the use of Mifeprex as an abortion drug. During 2016, 21 percent of all abortions reported in the city were chemical abortions. New York City’s abortion rate in 2016 was 31.1 abortions per 1,000 resident women of childbearing age, down from 32.8 in 2015.
State Report Summary
A little over half of the women getting abortion in New York City – 56 percent – were between the ages of 20 and 29. Nine percent were under the age of 20, 31 percent were in their thirties, and four percent were age 40 or older. Non-Hispanic black women made up the largest group of women who obtained abortions in New York City, accounting for 39 percent of reported abortions. Hispanic women made up the second-largest racial category at 28 percent of abortions, and white women made up 15 percent of the abortions reported in the city. Three-quarters of the women were unmarried. Fifteen percent were married, and 10 percent did not report their marital status. Ninety-three percent of the abortions reported in New York City were performed on city residents.
Forty percent of the abortions reported in New York City were performed at six weeks of gestation or earlier. Thirty percent were performed between seven and eight weeks, 13 percent between nine and 10 weeks, and six percent between 11 and 12 weeks of gestation. Five percent were performed between 13 and 15 weeks, and four percent were performed between 16 and 20 weeks of gestation. There were 1,328 abortions (two percent) performed at or after 21 weeks – more than halfway through pregnancy, when babies can feel pain. Currently, New York prohibits abortion after 24 weeks unless the life of the mother is at risk. However, the new Democratic majority elected to the New York State Senate has indicated that one of its top priorities is passing the Reproductive Health Act, which would remove protections for unborn children from New York’s penal code and remove all limits on abortion. Under the Reproductive Health Act, abortion would be allowed after 24 weeks to protect the mother’s life or health, or in cases of “absence of fetal viability” (when the baby is unlikely to survive after birth). The Act does not define “health,” a term commonly interpreted in line with the Supreme Court definition in Doe v. Bolton and understood to include mental and physical health and social factors. Additionally, the Reproductive Health Act would permit licensed medical practitioners besides doctors, such as midwives, to perform abortions.

Race and Abortion in New York City
Non-Hispanic black women continue to be disproportionately impacted by abortion. In 2016, as in previous years, more African American babies were aborted than were born alive in New York City. Out of the 47,718 total reported pregnancies experienced by non-Hispanic black women, almost half – 49 percent – ended in abortion, while four percent ended in miscarriage and only 47 percent ended in live births. Among African American women in their twenties, the abortion rate was a staggering 85.2 abortions per 1,000 women. By contrast, Asian and Pacific Islander women overall had the lowest percentage of pregnancies ending in abortion (13 percent) and Asian and Pacific Islander women in their twenties had an abortion rate of 15.5 abortions per 1,000 women.

"More black babies are aborted in NYC than born."

During the first Democratic presidential debate in October 2015, Hillary Clinton proclaimed, "We’ve got to be committed to getting every child to live up to his or her God-given potential." Cynthia Meyer, who took up the post of deputy press secretary for Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in early 2015, fired back with a tweet, "Would help if they had the chance to be born."
About a month later, in the next Democratic debate Nov. 14, 2015, the episode was repeated. Clinton echoed her earlier comment, again declaring, "Every single one of our children deserves the chance to live up to his or her God-given potential."
This time, Meyer responded by tweeting, "More black babies are aborted in NYC than born," followed by the hashtag #blacklivesmatter. NYC meaning the city of New York.
The pair of exchanges elicited a strong sense of deja vu, but Meyer’s second tweet raised a more specific question about abortion rates among black women in the Big Apple: Are there more abortions by black women in NYC than births?
To our inquiry, over email Meyer said her responses were an effort to highlight the value of human life and call attention to NYC’s "startling" numbers, which come from a 2013 report on pregnancy outcomes compiled by the city’s Department of Health and Mental Hygiene’s Bureau of Vital Statistics. The numbers have been widely reported by conservative media outlets, including a National Review article that Meyer emailed to us.
"To be clear, that tweet came from my personal Twitter account and I was speaking as a private citizen," Meyer said in an email. "Happy to defend the stats, though."
Abortions by black women in NYC outpacing births?
Figuring out the answer to this question proved rather simple. The first place we went was that 2013 report, the most recent data available, which provides exhaustive breakdowns of birth statistics in New York City. The agency lists pregnancy outcomes by race and ethnicity, as well as by borough, type of birth (live birth, C-section, premature) and health of the mother.
According to the report, in 2013 black women accounted for 29,007 terminated pregnancies, representing almost 42 percent of all abortions in the city. That same year, black women in the city gave birth to 24,108 babies. With abortions surpassing live births by nearly 5,000, African American women in the city clearly terminated pregnancies more often than they carried babies to term. Black women terminated pregnancies at a rate of 67.3 per 1,000 women ages 15 to 49, a rate far higher than any other racial or ethnic group.
We checked: the statistics were similar the previous year, when African American women in the city had 24,758 births and underwent 31,328 abortions.
