After a Supreme Court ruling, many states banned abortion - but now more Americans want it kept legal.
But what access a woman has to abortion, depends on where she lives - and which party is in power in that place.
According to WeCount, there were 24,290 fewer legal abortions overall between July 2022 and March 2023, compared to an average calculated in the months before the Dobbs decision. The project tracked abortions provided by clinics, private medical offices, hospitals, and virtual-only clinics, but did not track self-managed abortions.
That led to longer journeys overall, a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found.
