Research Authored
Abortion Reporting: Wisconsin (2023)
Wisconsin’s 2023 abortion statistics were published online in August 2025 by the Wisconsin Department of Health Services. The report shows that Wisconsin abortions decreased in 2023. The data published by the state does not include the total number of abortions obtained by Wisconsin residents out of state or the number of self-managed abortions performed by women outside of the healthcare system. The report also does not contain the number of mail-order abortion drugs obtained by Wisconsin residents prescribed by licensed abortion providers in other states.
Abortion Reporting: Florida (2024)
The data published by the state does not include the number of abortions obtained by Florida residents out of state or the number of self-managed abortions performed by women outside of the healthcare system. It is also highly unlikely that the report contains the total number of mail-order abortion drugs obtained by Florida residents prescribed by licensed abortion providers in Florida or from other states.
Abortion Reporting: Idaho (2024)
In 2024, only two abortions at brick-and-mortar facilities in Idaho were reported to the state’s Department of Health & Welfare, both of which were drug-induced. The data published by the state does not include the total number of abortions obtained by Idaho residents out of state or the number of self-managed abortions performed by women outside of the healthcare system. The report also does not contain the total number of mail-order abortion drugs obtained by Idaho residents prescribed by licensed abortionists in other states with shield laws.
Abortion Reporting: Missouri (2023)
Missouri’s 2023 abortion report was published online in July 2025, showing that reported brick-and-mortar abortions performed in the state continued to decrease from 2022, reaching the lowest number ever recorded in the state. The data published by the state does not include the total number of abortions obtained by Missouri residents outside of the state (only those performed in certain states) or the number of self-managed abortions performed by women outside of the healthcare system. The report also does not contain the number of mail-order abortion drugs obtained by Missouri residents prescribed by licensed abortion providers in other states.
Abortion Reporting: Connecticut (2024)
The data published by the state does not include the total number of abortions obtained by Connecticut residents out of state or the number of self-managed abortions on women outside of the healthcare system. The report also does not contain the total number of mail-order abortion drugs obtained by Connecticut residents prescribed by licensed abortion providers in Connecticut or in other states.
Abortion Reporting: South Dakota (2024)
In 2024, zero abortions at brick-and-mortar facilities in the state were reported to the South Dakota Department of Health. The data published by the state does not include the total number of abortions obtained by South Dakota residents out of state or the number of self-managed abortions performed by women outside of the healthcare system. The report also does not contain the total number of mail-order abortion drugs obtained by South Dakota residents prescribed by licensed abortionists in other states with shield laws.
Abortion Reporting: Nebraska (2024)
Nebraska’s 2024 abortion report was published in June 2025 on the electronic dashboard of the state’s Department of Health and Human Services. The data shows that abortions increased in the Cornhusker state. Not included in the state’s data are the total number of abortions obtained by Nebraska 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 Nebraska residents prescribed by licensed abortion providers in other states (under shield laws), as telehealth abortions are prohibited under Nebraska law.
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.
Abortion Reporting: South Carolina (2024)
South Carolina’s 2024 abortion report was released on June 30, 2025, revealing that abortions reported in the state decreased significantly. The data published by the state does not include the total number of abortions obtained by South Carolina 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 South Carolina residents prescribed by licensed abortion providers in other states (under shield laws), as telehealth abortions are prohibited under South Carolina law.
Abortion Reporting: North Carolina (2023)
North Carolina’s 2023 abortion statistics were published online by the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services in June 2025. The report shows that North Carolina abortions increased in 2023. The data published by the state does not include the total number of abortions obtained by North Carolina 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 North Carolina residents prescribed by licensed abortion providers in other states.
