Some states are massively lower than even the 60's, and probably reflects the utter lack of abortion facitilies, which is another republican/Christian conservative anti-abortion strategy, hence the fight to require hospital admitting privs., etc.

Based on what I've seen, and where I have seen it reported, I still suspect the national number is quite a bit south of the UK.
