Abortion
90.9% were done by curettage, 7.7% were medical abortions (using drugs, mifepristone in most  cases), 0.4% by "intrauterine instillation" (saline or prostaglandin), and 1.0% by "other" (including hysterotomy and hysterectomy).  The Guttmacher Institute estimated there were 2,200 intact dilation and extraction procedures in the U.S. during 2000 -  0.17% of the total number of abortions performed that year. The Guttmacher Institute estimated that "most abortions in the United States are obtained by minority women" because minority women "have much higher rates of unintended pregnancy."
