2022 US abortion rates increased slightly post-Roe v. Wade overturning; states with bans saw varying declines.

Since Roe v. Wade's overturning in 2022, US abortion rates have slightly increased, according to a Society of Family Planning report. The increase is attributed to new laws protecting doctors who use telemedicine to provide abortion services in states with bans. However, states with total abortion bans have seen the number of procedures plummet close to zero, while states with six-week bans have experienced a 50% decline. The changes in abortion rates might be attributed to multiple factors, including the legal and social implications of the Supreme Court's decision. The research is ongoing, and additional data will be analyzed to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the impact of the decision on abortion access and rates in the United States.
