However, significant variability across states was evident, with Florida and South Carolina experiencing notable decreases due to newly implemented six-week bans. Conversely, Wisconsin saw a massive increase of 388% due to restored access after previous restrictions. The findings highlight the impact of state-specific laws on abortion access, emphasizing the interconnected nature of abortion services across the country.
