(Washington, DC) — More American women have gotten abortions during the first three months of 2024 than the same period in 2023. That’s according to a new report from the Society of Family Planning. That continues the trend since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in summer 2022, turning abortion rights back to the states. The increase appears to be driven mostly be telehealth consultations, which account for 20-percent of all abortions nationally. Six states have put laws into action that offer legal protections to clinicians who offer telehealth abortion care in states that have bans on abortions.
