n the six months since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, there were 5,377 fewer abortions on average per month, according to a new report.
The average number of terminations from July through December was 77,073, a 7% drop from the average in April and May, according to a Tuesdayfrom the Society of Family Planning. In the states with the strictest restrictions—Alabama, Arkansas, Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, West Virginia and Wisconsin—there were 265 abortions per month on average from July to December. That’s a 96% drop from April and May.
National abortion figures have not returned to levels seen immediately before the June decision in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization case, which did away with the constitutional protections for abortion.
