Abortion Reporting: New Jersey (2018)

There were 22,936 abortions reported in New Jersey in 2018, up seven percent from the previous year. However, because not all New Jersey abortion centers are required to report abortions, this figure significantly undercounts the number of abortions that actually occurred in the state. Chemical abortions also increased, nearly doubling from 3,802 in 2017 to 7,437 in 2018, although it is likely that a sizable number of chemical abortions were not reported.
