3) This is a number that shows the legal abortion death rates of women by race. For example, among legal abortion fatalities whose race has been identified, the death rate for White women is (87/21,443,515), or 4.06 deaths per million abortions. The death rate for Black women is (133/17,728,452), or 7.50 deaths per million abortions. Therefore, the legal abortion death rate among Black women is (7.50/4.06) = 1.85 times (85 percent) higher than that of White women.
