Abortions rose in nearly every state where the procedure remains legal, but the change was most visible in states bordering those with total abortion bans.
Data was not collected from the 14 states with abortion bans in effect in the first part of the year.
Range of 2023 estimates 2020 count Low Median High 20,000 40,000 60,000 80,000 Calif. N.Y. Ill. Fla. N.J. N.C.
Both reports show significant increases in abortions in states without abortion bans, a change that anti-abortion advocates and legislators are watching closely.
Guttmacher researchers collected abortion data before legislatures enacted bans and restrictions in Indiana, North Carolina and South Carolina.
