On June 24, 2022, the Supreme Courtroom’s ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Ladies’s Well being Group overturned the constitutional proper to abortion, in addition to the federal requirements of abortion entry established by prior selections within the instances Roe v. Wade and Deliberate Parenthood v. Casey. Previous to the Dobbs ruling, the federal customary was that abortions have been permitted as much as fetal viability in all states. That federal customary has been eradicated, permitting states to set insurance policies concerning the legality of abortions and set up limits. KFF is monitoring and updating the standing of abortion entry and availability, with some states banning virtually all abortions and a few states defending abortion entry.
This subject temporary solutions some key questions on abortion in the USA and presents information collected earlier than and new information that has been printed because the overturn of Roe v. Wade.
What’s abortion?
Abortion is the medical termination of a being pregnant. It’s a frequent medical service that many ladies get hold of in some unspecified time in the future of their life. There are several types of abortion strategies, which the Nationwide Academy of Sciences, Engineering, and Drugs (NASEM) locations in 4 classes:
Medicine Abortion – Medicine abortion, also referred to as medical abortion or abortion with drugs, is a being pregnant termination protocol that entails taking oral medicines. There are two extensively accepted protocols for remedy abortion. Within the U.S., the most typical protocol entails taking two totally different medication, mifepristone and misoprostol. Sometimes, a person utilizing remedy abortion takes mifepristone first, adopted by misoprostol 24-48 hours later. Within the U.S., the Meals and Drug Administration (FDA) has authorised this protocol of remedy abortion to be used as much as the primary 70 days (10 weeks) of being pregnant, and its use has been rising for years. One other remedy abortion protocol makes use of misoprostol alone. Sufferers can take 800 µg (4 drugs) of misoprostol sublingually or vaginally each three hours for a complete of 12 drugs. The routine can be really helpful for as much as 70 days (10 weeks) of being pregnant, however it’s not at the moment authorised by the FDA and is extra generally utilized in different nations. Guttmacher Institute estimates that in 2023, remedy was used for nearly two thirds (63%) of all abortions. Many have confused emergency contraception (EC) drugs with remedy abortion drugs, however EC doesn’t terminate a being pregnant. EC works by delaying or inhibiting ovulation and won’t have an effect on a longtime being pregnant.
Aspiration, a minimally invasive and generally used gynecological process, is the most typical type of procedural abortion. It may be used to conduct abortions as much as 14-16 weeks of gestation. Aspiration can be generally utilized in instances of early being pregnant loss (miscarriage).
Dilation and evacuation abortions (D&E) are normally carried out after the 14th week of being pregnant. The cervix is dilated, and the being pregnant tissue is evacuated utilizing forceps or suction.
Induction abortions are uncommon and carried out later in being pregnant. They contain the usage of medicines to induce labor and supply of the fetus.

How protected are abortions?
Many years of analysis have proven that abortion is a really protected medical service.
Regardless of its sturdy security profile, abortion is essentially the most extremely regulated medical service within the nation and is now banned in a number of states. Along with bans on abortion altogether and telehealth, many states impose different limitations on abortion that aren’t medically indicated, together with ready intervals, ultrasound necessities, gestational age limits, and parental notification and consent necessities. These restrictions sometimes delay receipt of providers.
NASEM accomplished an exhaustive overview on the security and effectiveness of abortion care and concluded that issues from abortion are uncommon and happen far much less regularly than throughout childbirth.
NASEM additionally concluded that security is enhanced when the abortion is carried out earlier within the being pregnant. State stage restrictions similar to ready intervals, ultrasound necessities, and gestational limits that impede entry and delay abortion provision probably make abortions much less protected.
When remedy abortion drugs, which account for almost all of abortions, are administered at 9 weeks’ gestation or much less, the being pregnant is terminated efficiently 99.6% of the time, with a 0.4% danger of main issues, and an related mortality price of lower than 0.001 p.c (0.00064%).
Medicine abortion drugs may be supplied in a medical setting or by way of telehealth (with out an in-person go to). Analysis has discovered that the supply of remedy abortion by way of telehealth is as protected and efficient as the supply of the drugs at an in individual go to.
Research on procedural abortions, which embody aspiration and D&E, have additionally discovered that they’re very protected. Analysis on aspiration abortions, the most typical procedural technique, have discovered the speed of main issues of lower than 1%.

How typically do abortions happen?
There are three main information sources on abortion incidence and the traits of people that get hold of abortions within the U.S: the Facilities for Illness Management and Prevention (CDC), the Guttmacher Institute, and most lately, the Society of Household Planning’s (SFP) #WeCount undertaking.
The federal CDC Abortion Surveillance System requests information from the central well being businesses of the 50 states, D.C., and New York Metropolis to doc the quantity and traits of ladies acquiring abortions. Most states acquire information from amenities the place abortions are supplied on the demographic traits of sufferers, gestational weeks, and kind of abortion process. Reporting these information to the CDC is voluntary and never all states take part within the surveillance system. Notably, California, Maryland, and New Hampshire haven’t reported information on abortions to the CDC system for years. CDC publishes accessible information from the surveillance system yearly. The latest information is for the yr 2021.
Guttmacher Institute, an unbiased analysis and advocacy group, is one other main supply of knowledge on abortions within the U.S. Previous to the Dobbs ruling, Guttmacher carried out the Abortion Supplier Census (APC) periodically which has supplied information on abortion incidence, abortion amenities, and traits of abortion sufferers. Knowledge from the APC are primarily based totally on questionnaires collected from all recognized amenities that present abortion within the nation, info obtained from state well being departments, and Guttmacher estimates for a small portion of amenities. The latest APC stories information from 2020.
The CDC and Guttmacher information differ when it comes to strategies, timeframe, and completeness, however each have proven related developments in abortion charges over the previous decade. One notable distinction is that Guttmacher’s examine contains steady reporting from California, D.C., Maryland, and New Hampshire, which explains at the very least partly the upper abortion quantity of their information.
Because the Dobbs ruling, the Guttmacher Institute has established the Month-to-month Abortion Provision Research to trace abortion quantity inside the formal U.S. well being care system. This ongoing effort collects information on and supplies nationwide and state-level estimates on procedural and drugs abortions whereas additionally monitoring the modifications in abortion quantity since 2020. The Month-to-month Abortion Provision Research was designed to enhance Guttmacher’s APC together with different information assortment efforts to permit for fast snapshots of the altering abortion panorama within the U.S.
Society of Household Planning’s (SFP) #WeCount is one other nationwide reporting effort that measures modifications in abortion entry following the Dobbs ruling. The undertaking stories on the variety of abortions monthly by state and contains information on abortions supplied by clinics, personal practices, hospitals, and virtual-only suppliers. The report doesn’t embody information on self-managed abortions which can be carried out with out medical supervision. The latest #WeCount report analyzes information from April 2022 to information from December 2023, marking 18 months of abortion information since Dobbs.
This KFF subject temporary makes use of information from the CDC, Guttmacher, and SFP in addition to different analysis organizations.(Again to prime)
How has the abortion price modified over time?
For a lot of the decade previous to the Dobbs ruling, there was a gradual decline in abortion charges nationally, however there was a slight enhance within the years simply earlier than the ruling.
Of their most up-to-date nationwide information, Guttmacher Institute reported 930,160 abortions in 2020 and a price of 14.4 per 1,000 girls. CDC reported 622,108 abortions in 2021 and a price of 11.6 abortions per 1,000 girls (excludes CA, DC, MD, NH). Guttmacher’s examine confirmed an upward pattern in abortion from 2017 to 2020 whereas CDC’s report confirmed a rise in abortions from 2017 to 2021 aside from a slight lower in 2020.
Whereas most attribute the long-term decline in abortion charges to elevated use of more practical strategies of contraception, a number of states had decreased entry to low- or no-cost contraceptive care on account of reductions within the Title X community below the Trump Administration, which can have contributed to the slight rise in abortions previous to the Dobbs ruling. Different components which will have contributed to the rise may embody better protection below Medicaid that subsequently made abortions extra inexpensive in some states and broader monetary assist from abortion funds to assist people pay for the prices of abortion care.
Even previous to the Dobbs ruling, abortion charges diversified extensively between states.
Nationwide averages can masks native and extra granular variations. Decrease state-level abortion charges don’t replicate much less want. A few of the variation has been as a result of broad variations in state insurance policies, with some states traditionally inserting restrictions on abortion that make entry and availability to almost out of attain and, on the opposite aspect, some states enshrining protections in state Constitutions and laws.
In 2020, the abortion price (per 1,000 girls ages 15-44) ranged from 0.1 in Missouri to 48.9 within the District of Columbia (DC). Developments additionally diversified between states. Whereas the nationwide price of abortion elevated between 2017 and 2019, some states noticed declines, with significantly sharp drops in states the place heavy restrictions have been put into place.
Whereas the variety of abortions within the U.S. dropped instantly following the Dobbs determination, new information present that the variety of abortions barely elevated general 18 months following the ruling. Nonetheless, the small upswing nationally obscures the large declines in abortion care supplied in states with bans.
In 2023, the amount of in-person and virtual-only abortions averaged 84,600 abortions monthly, barely increased than the 2022 month-to-month common of 81,900 abortions. Nationally, the variety of abortions diversified month-by-month, with the most important lower noticed in November 2022 (roughly 8,200 fewer abortions than pre-Dobbs interval) and the most important enhance in March 2023 (roughly 10,000 extra abortions than pre-Dobbs interval). The states with abortion bans skilled the most important cumulative decreases within the variety of abortions, together with Texas, Georgia, Tennessee, and Louisiana (information varies by month in every state; information not proven). States with the most important cumulative will increase within the complete variety of abortions embody Illinois, Florida, and California (information not proven).
States with out abortion bans skilled a rise of abortions following the Dobbs ruling probably resulting from a mix of causes: elevated interstate journey for abortion entry, expanded in-person and digital/telehealth capability to see sufferers, elevated measures to guard and canopy abortion take care of residents and out-of-state sufferers, and the broader availability of low-cost abortion remedy.
Nonetheless, these aggregated developments masks the sharp decline in abortions supplied in states with complete bans or extreme restrictions in addition to the hardships that many pregnant folks expertise in accessing abortion care. The #WeCount report estimates that roughly 180,000 extra abortions would have occurred in these 18 months had Roe not been overturned (information not proven).(Again to prime)
Who will get abortions?
A lot of the details about individuals who obtain abortions comes from CDC information previous to the Dobbs ruling. In 2021, girls throughout a variety of age teams, socioeconomic standing, and racial and ethnic backgrounds obtained abortions, however the majority have been obtained by girls who have been of their twenties, low-income, and ladies of coloration.
Ladies of their twenties accounted for greater than half (57%) of abortions. Almost one-third (31%) have been amongst girls of their thirties and a small share have been amongst girls of their 40s (4%) and teenagers (8).
Greater than half of abortions have been amongst girls of coloration. Black girls comprised 42% of abortion recipients, 30% have been supplied to White girls, 22% to Hispanic girls, and seven% have been amongst girls of different races/ethnicities.
Many ladies who sought abortions have youngsters. Roughly six in 10 (61%) abortion sufferers in 2021 had at the very least one earlier start.
(Again to prime)
At what level in being pregnant do abortions happen?
The overwhelming majority (93%) of abortions happen in the course of the first trimester of being pregnant in response to information accessible from earlier than the Dobbs determination.
Earlier than the 2022 ruling in Dobbs, there was a federal constitutional proper to abortion earlier than the being pregnant is taken into account to be viable, that’s, can survive outdoors of a pregnant individual’s uterus. Viability is usually thought of round 24 weeks of being pregnant. Most abortions, although, happen properly earlier than the purpose of fetal viability.
Knowledge from 2021 discovered that 4 in ten (40%) abortions occurred by six weeks of gestation, one other 4 in ten (39%) occurred between seven and 9 weeks, and 14% at 10-13 weeks. Simply 7% of abortions occurred after the primary trimester.
Previous to the choice within the Dobbs case, virtually half of states (22) had enacted legal guidelines that ban abortion at a sure gestational interval. Most of those limits are within the second trimester, however some are within the first trimester, properly earlier than fetal viability. Many of those legal guidelines had been blocked as a result of they violated the federal customary established by Roe v Wade. Some states have enacted legal guidelines banning abortions after fetal cardiac exercise may be detected, or round 6 weeks of being pregnant, which is usually earlier than an individual is aware of they’re pregnant. Because the Dobbs ruling, states can ban abortion or set up pre-viability gestational restrictions as a result of the federal customary that had been in place till then has been overturned.
(Again to prime)
The place do folks get abortion care?
Simply over half of abortions have been supplied at clinics focusing on abortion care in 2020. Others have been supplied at clinics that provide abortion care along with different household planning providers.
Guttmacher Institute estimated that 96% of abortions have been supplied at clinics and simply 4% have been supplied in medical doctors’ places of work or hospitals in 2020. Most clinic-based abortions have been supplied at clinics focusing on offering abortion care, however many have been supplied at clinics that provide a variety of different sexual and reproductive well being providers like contraception and STI care. Most abortions are supplied by physicians. Nonetheless, in 19 states and D.C., Superior Apply Clinicians (APCs) similar to Nurse Practitioners and midwives could present remedy abortions. Conversely, 31 states prohibit clinicians aside from physicians from offering abortion care.
Even previous to the ruling in Dobbs, entry to abortion providers was very uneven throughout the nation although. The proliferation of restrictions in lots of states, significantly within the South, had vastly shrunk the supply of providers in some areas. Within the wake of overturning Roe v. Wade, these geographic disparities have widened. Many clinics stopped providing abortion providers shortly after the Dobbs ruling, and a current report estimates that over 60 unbiased abortion clinics have shut down altogether in 2022 (42 clinics) and 2023 (23 clinics as of October 2023).
Telehealth
Telehealth has grown as a supply mechanism for abortion providers. Whereas procedural abortions should be supplied in a medical setting, remedy abortion may be supplied in a medical setting or by way of telehealth. Entry to remedy abortion by way of telehealth had been restricted for a few years by a Meals and Drug Administration (FDA) restriction that had permitted solely licensed clinicians to dispense mifepristone in a well being care setting. The drug couldn’t be mailed or picked up at a retail pharmacy. Nonetheless, in December 2021, the FDA completely revised its coverage and not requires clinicians to dispense the drug in individual. Moreover, in January 2023, the FDA finalized a change that enables retail pharmacies to dispense remedy abortion drugs to sufferers with a prescription. These coverage modifications opened the door to make use of telehealth for remedy abortion.
In a telehealth abortion, the affected person sometimes completes an internet questionnaire to evaluate (1) affirmation of being pregnant, (2) gestational age and (3) blood kind. If decided eligible by a distant clinician, the affected person is mailed the medicines. This mannequin doesn’t require an ultrasound for being pregnant relationship if the affected person has common intervals and is certain of the date of their final menstrual interval (consistent with ’s pointers for being pregnant relationship). If the affected person has irregular intervals or is not sure how lengthy they’ve been pregnant, they could have to get hold of an ultrasound to verify the weeks of gestation and rule out an ectopic being pregnant and ship within the photos for overview earlier than receiving their medicines. The follow-up go to with a clinician also can occur by way of a telehealth go to.
Telehealth may be administered by suppliers from conventional brick-and-mortar clinics or by virtual-only clinics. Digital clinics started to proliferate after the FDA revised its in-person meting out requirement in 2021, rising from no digital clinics in 2020 to 69 clinics in 2022 (representing 9% of 789 amenities that provide remedy abortion).
Nonetheless, even in a few of the states that haven’t banned abortion altogether, telehealth might not be accessible. Many states had established restrictions previous to the Dobbs ruling that restrict the usage of telehealth abortions by both requiring abortion sufferers to take the drugs at a bodily clinic, require ultrasounds for all abortions, set their very own insurance policies concerning the meting out of the medicines used for abortion care, or straight ban the usage of telehealth for abortion care. As of March 2024, of the 36 states that haven’t banned abortion, twelve had at the very least considered one of these restrictions, successfully prohibiting telehealth for remedy abortion.
Medicine abortion has emerged as a serious authorized and legislative entrance within the battle over abortion entry throughout the nation. A number of instances have been filed in federal and state courts concerning points of the FDA’s regulation of remedy abortion in addition to the mailing of medicines. One state, Louisiana, has labeled mifepristone as a managed substance. Moreover, a federal 1873 anti-obscenity legislation, the Comstock Act, prohibits the mailing of any remedy used for abortion. Whereas this legislation has not been enforced for years, it might be invoked by a future extra conservative Presidential Administration if it’s not repealed by Congress.
The Knowledge from SFP’s Might 2024 #WeCount report present that one in 5 (19%) abortions have been supplied by way of telehealth in December 2023. These telehealth abortions embody these supplied by digital clinicians (48%), brick-and-mortar clinics (5%), and suppliers that prescribe remedy abortion in states with protect legal guidelines to sufferers in different states with bans (36%) or telehealth restrictions (12%). States with protect legal guidelines purpose to guard clinicians and decrease the authorized dangers related to offering abortion care to sufferers in states the place abortion or telehealth abortion are banned or restricted. Since July 2023, SFP estimates that greater than 40,000 folks have accessed remedy abortion by these protect legal guidelines.
Self-Managed Abortions
Self-managed abortions are supplied with out a clinician go to (both by way of telehealth or in individual) and sometimes contain acquiring remedy abortion drugs from an internet pharmacy that can ship the drugs by mail or by buying the drugs from a pharmacy abroad. Whereas this will contain asynchronous contact with non-US-based clinicians, it doesn’t sometimes contain a direct session with a clinician both in individual or by way of telehealth.
Monitoring the amount of those on-line orders may also help fill in gaps in abortion depend estimates however may also be troublesome. Some firms could not share information on purchases, and it will even be unclear whether or not sufferers really take the abortion remedy after receiving it within the mail.
A current examine estimated that in comparison with anticipated pre-Dobbs numbers, at the very least 26,000 extra self-managed remedy abortions came about within the six months following the Supreme Courtroom ruling. Greater than half of those self-managed remedy abortions have been supplied by volunteers in neighborhood networks, whereas others have been carried out by telehealth organizations outdoors the formal U.S. well being care system and on-line distributors.
Interstate Journey
The Guttmacher Institute Month-to-month Abortion Provision Research is the one information supply up to now to offer in-depth info on interstate journey pre- and post-Dobbs. Guttmacher estimates that previous to Dobbs, practically one in ten folks obtained an abortion by touring throughout state strains in 2020. The newest information present that the interstate journey price for abortion care greater than doubled in 2023, with roughly one in 5 (~171,000) abortion sufferers touring out of state for care in 2023 in comparison with 74,000 in 2020. Illinois skilled the most important enhance in inbound journey for abortion care, with an estimated 37,300 abortion sufferers touring into the state in 2023. North Carolina, New Mexico, Florida, and Kansas additionally skilled an increase within the variety of out-of-state abortion sufferers throughout this time. Nonetheless, Florida and North Carolina have applied earlier gestational restrictions since this time, which can probably decrease the 9,600 and 15,800 sufferers, respectively, touring to these states for abortions.

Since Dobbs, these networks acquired a reported 39% extra requests for abortion assist and financially supported greater than 100,000 people searching for abortion care. Whereas donations to those networks rose instantly following Dobbs, the frequency of donations slowed, and funds have begun to taper, and a few organizations lately reported suspending operations altogether.

Non-public insurance coverage covers most ladies of reproductive age, and states have the accountability to control absolutely insured personal plans of their state, whereas the federal authorities regulates self-funded plans below the Worker Retirement Earnings Safety Act (ERISA). States can select whether or not abortion protection is included or excluded in personal plans that aren’t self-insured.
Previous to the Dobbs ruling, a number of states had enacted personal plan restrictions and banned abortion protection from ACA Market plans. At present, there are 11 states which have insurance policies limiting abortion protection in personal plans and 26 that ban protection in any Market plans. Because the Dobbs ruling, a few of these states have additionally banned the supply of abortion providers altogether.
A handful of states (9), nevertheless, have enacted legal guidelines that require personal plans to cowl abortion.
