Abortions hit highest number in over a decade after fall of Roe v. Wade americamagazine.org
A recent study from the Guttmacher Institute, an organization that supports abortion access, found that the number of abortions in 2023 has increased to the highest number and rate in the United States in over a decade.
The group announced March 19 that “new findings from the Monthly Abortion Provision Study show that an estimated 1,026,690 abortions occurred in the formal health care system in 2023, the first full calendar year after the US Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization overturned Roe v. Wade.”
Guttmacher noted that this is a “10% increase since 2020, the last year for which comprehensive estimates are available” and “is also the highest number and rate measured in the United States in over a decade.”
