A new report from the Guttmacher Institute from its Monthly Abortion Provision Study estimates a total of 99,470 abortions for January 2026. The estimate follows a Guttmacher calculation of 1,126,470 abortions for all of 2025, or an average of 93,872 abortions per month for that year. The Guttmacher figures are indeed estimates, given the number of abortions taking place at home via the mail, with limited data regarding what proportion of pills mailed are actually consumed by the recipient, saved for later use, discarded, or even prevented by abortion pill reversal medication. However imprecise the data are, they are disturbing numbers that should trouble the conscience of a nation.
Abortion has, by its advocates' own admission, been made extraordinarily easy to obtain. A vast marketplace exists on the internet. Actions by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have eliminated medical oversight and made the pills available later in pregnancy. The Trump FDA has approved a second generic version of the drug, declined to act on federal law criminalizing the shipment of abortion drugs across state lines, and fought with states seeking to enforce their laws against such shipments into their territory.
