More than 171,000 people traveled out-of-state for abortions last year
Briefly

More than one million clinician-provided abortions occurred in states without total bans in 2023, post-Roe v. Wade overturning, the highest in over a decade.
Out-of-state travel for abortions, including in-person procedures and obtaining abortion pills, more than doubled from 2020 to 2023.
Illinois and Florida saw significant increases in out-of-state patients due to neighboring states with strict abortion restrictions.
Those driving the longest distances for abortions are often from lower-income and more diverse congressional districts, per Center for American Progress data.
