"Study Reveals Stable US Abortion Rates Despite State Restrictions"
TL;DR Summary
A new report finds that the number of monthly abortions in the US is similar to pre-Roe v. Wade levels, with telemedicine prescriptions accounting for one in six abortions. The report estimates that 120,000 more abortions would have occurred in states with bans if they had not been implemented. While some states have enforced bans on abortion, others have taken steps to protect access to abortion, including via telehealth. The report does not cover self-managed abortions, and the US Supreme Court is considering the approval of mifepristone, a drug commonly used in abortions.
