flag Abortion rates stayed stable despite bans, fueled by telemedicine and mail-order pills, prompting new state restrictions and legal battles.

flag Despite strict abortion bans in 13 states, the number of U.S. abortions remained stable at about 1.1 million in 2024 and 2025, according to the Guttmacher Institute. flag Increased use of telemedicine and mail-order abortion pills, particularly mifepristone, has allowed patients in restrictive states to access care without traveling. flag Over 91,000 patients in those states received telehealth abortions in 2025. flag In response, several states have introduced laws to restrict pill distribution, advertising, or mailing across state lines, while legal challenges to federal rules allowing telehealth prescriptions continue. flag Shield laws in more permissive states protect providers offering remote care. flag No state has passed laws criminalizing women who seek abortions, though such proposals persist.
