Since the Dobbs decision, the Guttmacher Institute has been publishing monthly abortion estimates based on data submitted from a national sample of abortionists. In the last few weeks, it has compiled these monthly totals and published a new estimate for abortions in 2024 -1,126,970.
Guttmacher says this number reflects 1,050,660 abortions "provided by clinicians in U.S. states without a total ban in 2024 x2033 plus an additional 76,310 "provided via telehealth to states with total bans in 2024," according to estimates Guttmacher takes from the Society of Family Planning (SFP).
SFP does its own count of abortions and gets reports of pills ordered and shipped to pro-life states from online pill sellers from protected shield law states.
If accurate, this would reflect an increase of more than sixty thousand from the total Guttmacher reported for 2023 - 1,060,880 -- although more people may have seen their original figure of 1,035,360 which did not include the 2023 telehealth abortions from 2023.
