National Abortion Rate Rises Despite Overturning of Roe v. Wade: Studies

Despite Roe v. Wade reversal, data suggests national abortion rates have slightly increased due two separate studies; largest increases were observed in states where abortion access is still guaranteed as requests for abortion pills rise significantly.

Following the Supreme Court's reversal of Roe v. Wade, national abortion rates have seen a slight upswing, challenging the belief that restrictions would lead to a decrease.
Two separate studies from the Guttmacher Institute and WeCount report that abortion rates have remained steady or even increased post-Dobbs, contradicting conventional expectations.
Significant increases in abortions have been seen in states that continue to provide access to the procedure as well as regions bordering areas where it's been banned.
There has been a substantial rise in requests for abortion pills, indicating a shift in the modes of access to abortions despite legal constraints.
Efforts to ban or restrict travel related to abortions could potentially fail constitutional muster as they would challenge the recognized right to travel.
