New figures shed light on US abortion travel as Trump cuts tracking research

For the second year in a row, abortion providers have performed more than 1 million procedures in the U.S., with about 155,000 people traveling across state lines for abortions—nearly double the number from 2020 before Roe v. Wade and anti-abortion bans became widespread. Despite this increase, geographical disparities persist, with states like Illinois leading as hubs for out-of-state abortion access, while neighboring Texas remains a significant barrier.
