A new report shows over half of U.S. abortions are now done with pills rather than surgery.
The FDA made the change permanent last December, meaning millions of women can get a prescription via an online consultation and receive the pills through the mail. That move led to stepped-up efforts by abortion opponents to seek additional restrictions on medication abortions through state legislatures.
So far this year, 16 state legislatures have proposed bans or restrictions on medication abortion, according to the Guttmacher report. According to the World Health Organization, about 73 million abortions are performed each year. About 630,000 abortions were reported to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2019 although information from some states is missing. Guttmacher's last comprehensive abortion report dates to 2017; the data provided Thursday comes from an update due out later this year.
