US abortion rates increase three years post-Roe overturn

Three years after the overturning of Roe v Wade, US abortion numbers have increased, driven by telehealth services and shield laws, despite bans in many states. The data shows a record high of 1.14 million abortions in 2024, with a significant rise in telehealth abortions, especially in rural areas, and ongoing legal challenges to shield laws and access to abortion drugs.
