New data shows that abortion numbers increased in the year after Dobbs overturned Roe v. Wade and upended abortion access across the country.
The first year following the Supreme Court’s reversal of Roe v. Wade upended abortion access but still led to an increase in abortions, according to one researcher who studied the number of abortions that happened since the nation’s highest court stepped in. “What actually happened during these 12 months is that abortion access plummeted to zero in some states, while increasing to meet the acute need in others, leading to a complete disruption in the healthcare system and people’s lives,” Dr.
In states with six-week abortion bans, there were 19,660 fewer abortions provided. Georgia, whose state Supreme Court just ruled on Tuesday to keep its its six-week ban in place, had a 50 percent decrease in abortions after the Dobbs decision. “We Count can’t tell us what’s happening to those 115,000 people. We can assume that some of these people traveled to other states for care,” Norris said.
