This month, the #WeCount project by the Society of Family Planning released final abortion estimates for calendar year 2025. Unfortunately, the news is not particularly good for pro-lifers.
The Society of Family Planning estimates that 1,126,760 abortions took place in calendar year 2025. This represents a 1.6 percent increase from 2024. Overall, the Society of Family Planning numbers are broadly consistent with the abortion estimates that have been released by the Guttmacher Institute.
Unsurprisingly, the #WeCount figures show that telehealth abortions are playing a large role in this abortion increase.
Overall, in calendar year 2025, 28 percent of all abortions took place by telehealth. In comparison, only 13 percent of abortions were done by telehealth in 2023, and only 22 percent were done by telehealth in 2024. Since many women residing in states with strong pro-life laws are obtaining abortions via telehealth, these telehealth abortions are undermining many pro-life laws that were passed since the Dobbs decision.
