The Guttmacher Institute’s 2025 abortion estimates are the basis for the information in the table below. Birth rate is also included as a point of reference. For states where abortion is illegal, Guttmacher estimates the number of telehealth abortions that occur within its borders. These are abortions that result from abortion pills being mailed directly to the aborting mother from online clinics operating out of state. Guttmacher’s abortion estimates are unofficial and unverifiable. For additional state-level statistics, click on the state abbreviations in the table below.
