New research is showing the impact of Supreme Court decision in June overturning constitutional abortion rights and allowing abortion bans to take effect in many states.
Reported abortion in states with restricted access dropped 32 percent between April and August 2022, according to recent study from the Society of Family Planning—while reported abortion in states with protected access increased by 11 percent.
Reported abortions dropped 6 percent overall, with over 10,000 fewer reported abortions reported in July and August.
