US abortions decrease by 10,000 since repeal of Roe v Wade in June

Research by #WeCount shows a 6% decline, with fall of 22,000 in most restrictive states partially offset by 12,000 rise elsewhere

There have been at least 10,000 fewer abortions since the nationwide abortion rights established by Roe v Wade were repealed by the US supreme court in June.

New research from the national research project #WeCount shows that with federal abortion protections rolled back, there have been 10,570 fewer legal abortions - a 6% decline - than estimates in April before the June ruling.
