Three Years After Dobbs, Abortion Patients Are Still Forced to Cross State Lines for Care

New data from our Monthly Abortion Study demonstrate the sweeping national impact of state abortion bans. 

In 2024, 155,000 people traveled out of state for an abortion, representing 15% of all US abortion patients. This is a small decline from 2023, but an increase from 2020—prior to the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision.
