Abortion Reporting: Wyoming (2024)
Wyoming’s 2024 abortion report was published online by the Wyoming Department of Health in June 2025. The report shows that abortions increased from the previous year. The data published by the state does not include the total number of abortions obtained by Wyoming residents out of state or the number of self-managed abortions performed by women outside of the healthcare system. It is also unlikely that the report contains the total number of mail-order abortion drugs obtained by Wyoming residents prescribed by licensed abortion providers in other states.

It is also unlikely that the report contains the total number of mail-order abortion drugs obtained by South Carolina residents prescribed by licensed abortion providers in other states (under shield laws), as telehealth abortions are prohibited under South Carolina law.
