There were an average of 98,990 abortions per month in the US between January and March 2024, according to the latest report from the US-based non-profit professional organisation The Society of Family Planning, which added that the volume of abortions was higher than in 2022 and 2023.

Abortion measures are hitting the ballots following the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade in June, which effectively ended the federal protection of abortion rights and allowed states to make their own laws regarding abortion. Fifty-four percent of Americans said they would vote to allow abortion in their states, according to an August 10 Ipsos poll that surveyed people who identify with both major parties. Abortion-rights advocates look at Kansas in hope that states will vote to implement some sort of abortion access. Earlier this month, Kansas provided the first vote on abortion law...

A Florida appeals court kept in place a previous ruling denying a 16-year-old an abortion, citing a lack of “maturity” to make that decision. The girl, referred to as Jane Doe 22-B, requested 10 weeks into her pregnancy for accommodation to the state law that requires individuals under 18 to gain parental consent before having an abortion. A circuit judge had said she could not get an abortion without parental approval, even though the teen is parentless, according to court documents. Doe does, however, have a guardian who had said they would allow her to terminate her pregnancy. The teen wrot...

Indiana became the first state to pass an abortion ban following the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v.

Louisiana’s heavily restrictive abortion laws fell back into place this week, following the Supreme Court’s June decision to overturn Roe v. Wade and return the power to the states to determine how they will approach women’s reproductive health. Temporary restraining orders and different court rulings had allowed abortion providers to keep operating since the Supreme Court’s ruling until a court decided Friday to allow state Attorney Gen. Jeff Landry (R) to enforce abortion laws as challenges are being deliberated in the courts. Doctors rushed to inform patients with procedures scheduled that ...

Michigan Republican gubernatorial candidate Tudor Dixon said that there would be no case, unless it were to protect the mother’s life, in which she thinks an abortion should be allowed. When asked by No BS Newshour host Charlie LeDuff what her opinion would be if given the example of a 14-year-old girl who is the victim of abuse by her uncle, she responded, “Yeah, perfect example… I know people who are the product. A life is a life for me. That’s how it is.” Dixon won the Republican primary on Tuesday in overwhelming fashion with 80 of Michigan’s 83 counties voting for her. She was boosted by ...

On Tuesday, Kansas provided the first vote on abortion laws since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June and returned the right to individual states to decide how they will approach reproduction rights. Voters defeated an amendment to the Kansas Constitution that would have eliminated the constitutional right to abortion by a wide margin. At 10:30 p.m. EST, 62% of voters had voted ‘no,’ enough to allow networks to project that the measure would be defeated once all the votes were counted. Right now, abortion is legal in the state if the procedure takes place within 22 weeks of concep...

California doctor Meg Autry has proposed opening a floating abortion clinic in federal waters in the Gulf of Mexico to serve southern states where abortion is heavily restricted or outlawed following the overruling of Roe v. Wade. She plans to call the ship PRROWESS, which stands for Protecting Reproductive Rights of Women Endangered by State Statutes, and it will serve states like Texas and Louisiana following the Supreme Court’s decision which ended the nearly 50 years of abortion rights being federally protected. “There’s been an assault on reproductive rights in our country, and I’m a life...

President Joe Biden announced on Sunday that he is thinking about enacting a public health emergency for abortion access following the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade late last month. “That’s something I’m asking the medical people in the administration to look at, whether I have the authority to do that and what impact that would have,” the president told reporters while taking a break from his bike ride in Delaware over the weekend. “Keep protesting. Keep making your point. It’s critically important. We can do a lot of things to accommodate the rights of women,” he added before co...

Ohio state Rep. Jean Schmidt said that she would consider a conversation about outlawing contraception following the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade last month. “That’s another issue for another day and I’m going to have to listen to both sides of the debate,” she said. “Right now, what I’m concerned about right now is the life of the child and the fact that we have the opportunity in Ohio to protect it from its conception until its natural death.” Schmidt also supports outlawing abortion from the time of conception. “When we get back into session, we’ll probably have one or two mor...
