Women in states with bans are getting abortions at similar rates as

under Roe, report says

By GEOFF MULVIHILL
Associated Press
Women living in states with
abortion bans obtained
the procedure in the sec-
ond half of 2023 at about
the same rate as before
the U.S. Supreme Court
overturned Roe v. Wade,
according to a report re-
leased Tuesday.
Women did so by traveling
out of state or by having
prescription abortion pills
mailed to them, according
to the #WeCount report
from the Society of Fam-
ily Planning, which advo-
cates for abortion access.
They increasingly used tel-
ehealth, the report found,
as medical providers in
states with laws intended
to protection them from
prosecution in other states
used online appointments
to prescribe abortion pills.
