The Society of Family Planning launched the We Count Project to measure the number of abortions nationally just before the Supreme Court overturned the constitutional right to abortion.
Their latest study found that there were 1.13 million abortions in the U.S.
in 2025, an increase from the previous year despite many state bans across the country.

The Republicans' Big Beautiful Bill Act passed last year used major cuts to Medicaid to fund President Trump's policy priorities.
A key way to get the cost of Medicaid down is to limit who can be on the public health plan.
Right now, all but a few states allow any low-income adult to enroll.
As of January, all of those adults from age 19 to 64 will have to prove that they are working or are exempt from the requirement.
The Department of Health and Human Services has now published the details states need to set up the new system in a document that's nearly 400 pages long.
Critics of the new rule say it takes a narrow view of medical exemptions, which could lead to many people with complicated health needs becoming uninsured.

The Trump administration's stated goal is to end gender-affirming care for youth nationally.
The latest effort to that end came when the Justice Department sought criminal subpoenas from a federal judge in Texas asking for years of full patient files from hospitals all over the country.
NYU Langone made the subpoena it received public earlier this month.
Six families who received care at Stanford say this effort violates their right to privacy and that the government hasn't explained how they're planning to use the information or why they need to know patient identities.
Attorneys representing the families say this is the first case challenging the Trump administration's use of criminal subpoenas to try and obtain transgender patient files.
