New data from the Guttmacher Institute shows an increase in the number of abortions in states bordering those with abortion bans.
Abortion-rights activists gather in front of the Supreme Court after the Court announced a ruling in the Dobbs v Jackson Women's Health Organization case, June 24, 2022, in Washington, D.C.Newly released data from the Guttmacher Institute shows a sharp increase in the first six months of 2023 in estimated abortions performed in states bordering those with abortion bans and in states that have protections for access to abortion.
The state with the largest estimated increase in abortions from January to July 2023 compared to the same period in 2020 was Illinois; Guttmacher estimates the state saw 18,300 additional abortions. Florida had an estimated additional 4,950 abortions performed in that period. Abortion access could become severely restricted in Florida as the Florida Supreme Court is set to hear arguments on a challenge to the state's 15-week abortion ban on Friday. If the ban is upheld, a six-week trigger ban will go into effect.
Guttmacher said it collected data from samples of providers, which it combined with "extensive historical facility-level data on variations in caseloads over time," according to Guttmacher.-- a national research project focusing on abortion and contraception led by the Society of Family Planning -- released data on abortions that it collected by surveying clinicians providing abortions throughout the country, documenting the total volume of abortions performed in the U.S.
