Kansas and Colorado—other major destinations for out-of-state patients—also saw declines in out-of-state travel during this period. Importantly, some states saw increases in the number of out-of-state patients between the first halves of 2024 and 2025. As the Monthly Abortion Provision Study only captures abortions occurring in states without total abortion bans, it is possible that increasing shield law provision to states with total bans could partially account for the declines in overall caseloads and travel between the first halves of 2024 and 2025. MethodologyData are drawn from Guttmacher’s Monthly Abortion Provision Study, which produces estimates of the number of abortions provided by clinicians in states without total abortion bans based on data collected from samples of abortion providers. These estimates do not include self-managed abortions or any abortions involving medication mailed to states with total abortion bans (either self-managed or provided by out-of-state clinicians).
