The number of abortions in the US rose again in 2024, with women continuing to find ways to get them despite bans and restrictions in many states, according to a report out Monday, per the AP . While the total number of abortions has risen gradually over the three years since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and ended nearly 50 years of legal abortion nationally for most of pregnancy, the number has dropped to near zero in some states—while abortions using pills obtained through telehealth appointments has become a more common method in nearly all states, according to the latest report from the WeCount project of the Society of Family Planning, which supports abortion access.

Pills are used in the majority of abortions and are also prescribed in person. The survey tallied about 1.1 million abortions nationally last year, or about 95,000 a month. That is up from about 88,000 monthly in 2023 and 80,000 a month between April and December of 2022. WeCount began after Roe was overturned, and the 2022 numbers don’t include January through March, when abortions are traditionally at their highest. The number is still well below the historic peak in the US of nearly 1.6 million a year in the late 1990s.

WeCount found that in the months before the Dobbs ruling was handed down, about 1 in 20 abortions was accessed by telehealth. But the last three months of 2024, it was up to 1 in 4. The biggest jump over that time came in the middle of 2023, when laws in some Democratic-controlled states took effect with provisions intended to protect medical professionals who use telehealth to prescribe pills to patients in states where abortion is banned or where there are laws restricting telehealth abortion. WeCount found that about half telehealth abortions last year were facilitated by the shield laws. The number of telehealth abortions also grew for those in states without bans.
