Abortion Rates in the U.S. After Roe v. Wade Overturn

Abortion rates in the U.S. increased after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, with some Democratic-controlled states enacting laws to protect doctors using telemedicine for abortions. Abortion numbers rose in states with bans, but fell in states with later abortion restrictions. Laws protecting medical providers who use telemedicine to prescribe abortion pills have helped increase access. Data collected by #WeCount showed a significant rise in abortions, especially in states like Illinois, Kansas, and New Mexico.
