1,038,100

Guttmacher Institute: estimated 1,038,100 clinician-provided abortions in 2024 in states without total bans. Guttmacher also notes this is still an undercount because it excludes some abortions from shield-law mailing of abortion pills into ban states.

representing a 12% increase from 2020, reports the Guttmacher Institute. This figure includes surgical and medication abortions performed within the formal healthcare system, with medication abortions now accounting for nearly two-thirds of the total cases.

Approximately 642,700 abortions were performed via abortion pill (medication abortion) in the U.S. health care system in 2023, according to the Guttmacher Institute. This method accounted for 63% of all abortions in the formal health care system that year, marking a significant increase from 53% in 2020, as noted in a Guttmacher Institute report.
