214 million women in developing regions currently have an unmet need for modern contraception
July 21, 2016 Infographic

The 334 abortion restrictions enacted by states from 2011 to July 2016 account for 30% of all abortion restrictions since Roe v. Wade.

In the first half of 2016, U.S. state legislators introduced 1,256 provisions relating to sexual and reproductive health and rights. Of these, 35% (445 provisions) sought to restrict access to abortion services. By midyear, 17 states had passed 46 new abortion restrictions. Including these new restrictions, states have adopted 334 abortion restrictions since 2010, constituting 30% of all abortion restrictions enacted by states since the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade in 1973.
