On June 24, 2022, the United States Supreme Court issued its ruling on the Dobbs v Jackson’s Women’s Health Organization case, effectively overturning federal protections on abortion access, and giving way to state restrictions on abortion access across the country.

#WeCount documents and shares quarterly reports on changes in abortion volumes, nationally and by state, following the Dobbs ruling.

As of February 28, 2024, a new report is available on changes in abortion access during the 18 months following the Dobbs ruling. Read and share the press release and report!

Report highlights

• Despite the dramatic declines in access post-Dobbs in states with abortion bans or severe restrictions, the national monthly abortion volume remains high.
• Provision of medication abortion via telehealth is increasingly prevalent, accounting for 16% of all abortions reported. 
• Monthly fluctuations can be seen at state and national levels, which may be due to dynamic combinations of state-level policy changes and seasonal variations in the need for abortion.
