Four years after the Supreme Court’s decision overturning Roe v. Wade and the federal right to abortion, the rate of abortion has actually increased.

According to the Society of Family Planning, in 2022 there were 80,000 abortions per month in the United States; in the first half of 2025, that figure had risen to 99,000. This increase, despite bans and other restrictions, is telling. Alongside it are advances in reproductive care, most notably the widespread use of medication abortion, often obtained through telemedicine. In the first half of 2025, for example, 27 percent of all abortions were provided through telehealth.

Nevertheless, thirteen states have imposed total bans on abortion, and seven others have partial bans. These have resulted in hardship and sometimes death. Despite these outcomes, the attacks on abortion access continue. In response, organizations that support women seeking abortions have proliferated, employing a range of methods, from legislative campaigns to abortion funds that raise money, organize transportation, and otherwise ease the burden on those trying to end their pregnancies.
