Abortion Rates in Florida Decline in 2024
Abortion rates in Florida declined significantly in 2024 compared to previous years, with a total of 60,755 abortions reported. The decrease is attributed to the state's six-week abortion restriction law. Out-of-state abortions also decreased by 51%. The Guttmacher Institute reports that medication abortions have been on the rise since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. Amendment 4, a ballot measure to enshrine the right to abortions throughout pregnancy, was rejected by Florida in 2024.
