Abortions in the US are on the rise three years after Roe v Wade was overturned

A growing number of abortions happen through telehealth - including for women in states with strict bans

Three years after the US supreme court overturned Roe v Wade, erasing the national right to abortion and paving the way for more than a dozen states to ban the procedure, the number of abortions performed in the US is still on the rise - including in some states that ban the procedure.

US abortion providers performed 1.14m abortions in 2024, according to new data released Monday by #WeCount, a Society of Family Planning project that has tracked abortion provision since 2022. That's the highest number on record in recent years.
