Axios - Legal abortions in the U.S. fell 6% in the first two months after the Supreme Court overturned Roe, The New York Times reports (subscription).
- The data — from WeCount, an organization led by the Society of Family Planning — marks the first attempt to count nationwide abortions since the court's decision.
In states that banned or severely restricted the procedure, there were over 8,000 fewer abortions in August than in April — a 95% decrease, WeCount found.
- The number of abortions increased by about 11% in states where abortion remained legal.
Illinois had the biggest increase in the number of abortions, with 2,710 more in July and August than in April and May.
