Indiana’s 2019 abortion report was published online by the Indiana State Department of Health in July 2020. The report shows that Planned Parenthood’s share of Indiana abortions fell from 2018, although Planned Parenthood still accounts for well over half the abortions reported in the state.

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.

Wyoming’s 2019 abortion report is the first published after the passage of a new state law requiring the Wyoming Department of Health’s Office of Vital Statistics Services to compile and publish abortion statistics each year.
