The number of abortions in the U.S. increased in 2024 despite bans and restrictions in many states, according to a report from the WeCount project. Currently, 12 states have bans on abortion at all stages of pregnancy, while four have bans at around six weeks. The total number of abortions rose to about 1.1 million in 2024, with pills prescribed through telehealth appointments accounting for one-fourth of all abortions. Anti-abortion efforts are focusing on restricting access to medication abortions, with some states suing to limit telehealth prescriptions of mifepristone.
