The chart seems to be counter-intuitive. Certainly, the number of abortions and the trend of both family formations and the birth rate has been declining. Why, then, is that not reflected in the chart?

Data available from the Center for Disease Control (
http://www.cdc.gov/reproductivehealt...s/Abortion.htm) and the Office of Immigration Statistics, DHS (
http://www.dhs.gov/files/statistics/publications/) provides the numbers. Of importance is the period of time from 1992 onward, as the DHS data shows a tripling of the rate of illegal information from that point. 1992 is 18 years after Rowe v. Wade, when the first of the aborted population would have started entering the work force. The chart seems to corroborate it.
