	*** Source: University of Alabama Asst. Professor of Political Science Michael New notes that Alaska, California and
	New Hampshire stopped reporting abortion figures to CDC after 1997, making abortions seem to plunge nationally.
	Subtracting these states' figures from 1985 and 1993 USA totals measures those years equally with 2001, '02, and '03.
	# The abortion ratio is the number of induced terminations of pregnancy per 1,000 live births.
	^ The 1976 Hyde Amendment severely restricts federal abortion funding.
	Note:  Figures for 1985 vs. 1993 are presented to compare the eight years before Giuliani to his eight-year mayoralty.
	Figures for 2002 and 2003 reflect the first two years of Giuliani's successor, NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
