Abortion numbers up since overturning of Roe v. Wade: Report

Abortion occurred more often across the United States in the first three months of this year than prior to the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade, a new report from the Society of Family Planning released on Wednesday showed.

The organization, which supports abortion rights, attributed the increase in abortions to laws in Democratic-controlled states that protect abortion doctors who use telemedicine to see patients from states with limits on abortion.

Vice President Kamala Harris, the 2024 Democratic nominee, has advocated for Congress to pass a bill guaranteeing abortions rights to Americans while former President Trump, the GOP nominee, has said the issue should be left up to the states.
