Absolutely No - As in Zero - Cases of Abuse Reported in Lesbian Families

I wonder what percentage of fundie families report abuse?

That absolute statement is something of a reach from a sample of 78 children interviewed, but I would expect the incidence to be dramatically lower in lesbian families.

Why would you expect so? I'm interested to hear your theory.

Statistically, physical violence is less common from women than from men; therefore expanded over a wide sample size, the expectation would be for significantly less domestic abuse when adult men aren't present. (Emotional abuse is harder to classify definitively, and therefore statistics aren't so easy to come by.)
