It didn’t take a fortune-teller to predict it, but the numbers now prove it. From the annulment of the sentence Eggs against Wade by the Supreme Court on June 24, 2022, the number of legal abortions in the United States has significantly decreased. According to the “We Count” report, published on October 28 by the American organization Society of Family Planning, the decline amounts to 10,670 across the country, with a decline of about 6% between April and August.
10,670 fewer legal abortions recorded in the United States
stop Eggs against Wade the right to abortion recognized throughout the United States. Since its cancellation, every state has been free to legislate as it sees fit, and some have immediately jumped at the opportunity to change their law, sometimes radically. To date, 13 states have severely restricted or even banned abortion, such as Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas, and American women are not immune from the rise in this figure. In all these territories, 22,530 fewer abortions were performed in just two months. But in states where abortion has remained legal, the number has increased by 11,980. A difference that suggests that about half of the women who could not have an abortion in their state of origin went to practice it where they had the right.
It should be noted that these figures refer only to legal abortions. While some women had the resources to cross borders, others certainly had no choice but to illegally terminate their pregnancies. Because the history of abortion has taught us well, whether they have the right or not, women abort, even at the risk of their lives.
