whoops I meant “risen”
Paradoxically, the most recent data show that the abortion volume in the U.S. slightly increased overall in the three years following the Dobbs ruling.
The monthly average number of abortions steadily increased from 79,620 monthly abortions in 2022 (April to December 2022), to 88,180 abortions in 2023, to 95,250 abortions in 2024, and to 98,630 in 2025 (January to June 2025). This overall increase in the number of abortions nationally can be largely attributed to the growth of telehealth for medication abortion, increased availability of lower cost medication abortion pills through virtual clinics, and in particular shield law abortions, where clinicians in legal states are mailing pills to individuals residing in states with bans and restrictions. Additionally, in several states without bans, there has been increased interstate travel for abortion access, expanded capacity to see patients, increased measures to protect abortion rights and improve coverage of abortion care for residents and out-of-state patients, and the broader availability of low-cost abortion medication.
