New data estimates by the Guttmacher Institute reveal that approximately 171,300 patients travelled out of their state to receive abortions last year.
The US Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade has resulted in severe restrictions on reproductive care across the nation.
In 2023, the first full year post-Roe, over one million clinical abortions were performed in states without a complete ban.
