In states where abortions were banned or severely restricted — such as a six-week ban — the number of abortions performed by a clinician in August had fallen by 95%, from 8,500 in April to 460.
In the first two months after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, there were an estimated 10,670 fewer abortions provided in the United States compared to April — a decrease of 6% — according to data from the abortion and contraception research group the Society of Family Planning.In the first two months after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v.
In states with less severe abortion restrictions, there was a 32% decrease by August — falling from 13,850 in April to 9,390 “These data represent thousands of people and families whose lives are turned upside down because of abortion bans,” said Ushma Upadhyay, #WeCount co-chair and a professor at the University of California, San Francisco’s Advancing New Standards in Reproductive Health. “Traveling to get an abortion is an impossible barrier for many people.”
By August, there were total abortion bans in several states, including Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, and Wisconsin. Meanwhile, clinics in states where abortion remained legal did not see a reciprocal increase, as they performed 11% more procedures in August compared to April. Virtual-only clinics, which provided medication abortions, saw a 34% increase from April to August, but at their peak accounted for less than 5% of all abortions.
