New data from the Guttmacher Institute shows the number of abortions rose in 2020, reversing a decades-long trend toward declining numbers.
The increase in abortions took place nationwide, with the largest uptick in the West and Midwest. But at the state level, the numbers varied widely depending on local circumstances. For example, as a growing number ofprompted more patients to cross state borders for care, neighboring Illinois — a state with far fewer such laws — saw a 25% increase in abortions between 2017 and 2020.
If the Supreme Court overturns the existing abortion-rights precedent, Jones predicts a decline in the abortion rate, as some patients in states with restrictive laws will be unable to travel to obtain an abortion."The need for abortion is growing at a time when the Supreme Court is getting ready to strike downFrom 2017 to 2020, the birth rate fell 6%.
In response to the report, Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, a group opposed to abortion rights, issued a statement noting that the numbers had risen in states with less restrictive abortion laws. "Leading Democrats used to say abortion should be 'safe, legal and rare.' Now... governors in states like California and New York seek to make their states 'sanctuaries' and 'safe havens' for the abortion industry," SBA Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser said in the statement.
