your kidding, right?.....the CDC has been publishing data about age, race, county, marital status, education level, number of children, the location of the procedure and number of pregnancies for decades

Try to discern the difference between voluntary and mandated.
Are states required to report their abortion statistics to CDC?
No, states and areas voluntarily report data to CDC for inclusion in its annual Abortion Surveillance Report. CDC's Division of Reproductive Health prepares surveillance reports as data becomes available. There is no national requirement for data submission or reporting.
And
Can I obtain a public use dataset for my own analysis?
No public use dataset is available. For other data sources and estimates related to abortion, we suggest searching the MEDLINE/PubMed
