Surge in Late Abortions Amid Growing State Restrictions

As abortion bans proliferate across the United States, healthcare providers report a troubling trend: patients are increasingly seeking abortion care later in their pregnancies. The impact of these restrictions is evident, with individuals arriving for procedures 'later and sicker' than before.

With access to insurance shrinking, the situation is exacerbated for those in states with stringent laws. In contrast, a few states and cities offering more lenient policies have seen an uptick in demand for later abortion services over the past decade.
