Your source spelled out 11.5%...I bolded it for you.
So please acknowledge that 11.5% and 14% are significant. (the 14% is much more recent)
Lursa, I do owe you an apology but not for failure to abide your own figures. But you low balled it.
I retract the claim married account for less than 1 percent and now say and shall prove it, t he true number is around 25 percent married.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES:
This article examines the marital status of women who obtained abortions between 1974 and 1994, with particular attention to those who were married or in common-law relationships.
DATA SOURCES:
The data come from Statistics Canada's publications on abortions, in-patient hospital morbidity data, and reports from the United States.
ANALYTICAL TECHNIQUES:
Crude and age-standardized abortion rates from 1974 to 1994 were calculated by marital status.
MAIN RESULTS:
While abortion rates were highest for single women,
those who were married (including common-law and separated) accounted for over one-quarter of all abortions performed in 1994. Since 1974, the age-standardized abortion rate per 1,000 married women aged 15 to 44 almost doubled from 6.6 to 11.2. For most of these women, it was their first abortion, and the majority had taken at least one pregnancy to term.

I was however relying on the final closing comments by the Feds where this was said.

It seems to conflict with the 25 percent number and reduces them to less than 1 percent. I do not understand the difference and can't claim to know.
Remember they say 11.2 per thousand. Per thousand often confuses the issue since percent is actually based on x per 100.
