across the country, their capacity strained by an escalated number of panicked calls, whether they work in red states or blue. According to WeCount, clinician-provided abortions in places where abortion remains legal increased from 62,600 procedures to 69,740 between April and August. States with protected access saw a cumulative total of 11,980 more patients, for an overall increase of 11 percent, that tempered some of the total decline but couldn’t totally account for it.
The larger trend is disheartening, though it comes with a few caveats. For one, it’s certainly possible that some people who were denied in-clinic abortionswith pills ordered online or internationally. But “overall,” the report states, “a total of 22,370 fewer people obtained an abortion in states with declines in care.” A portion of those people might have gone somewhere else or terminated at home, but many, the report notes, simply had “to continue a pregnancy they did not want.”.
