- Some 20% of abortion patients completed out-of-state travel to obtain care in early 2023, data shows.
- That statistic has doubled since 2020, when one in 10 patients traveled to other states for abortions.
- States bordering states with abortion bans saw the highest spikes in out-of-state patients.
Nearly one in five US women who got abortions in the first half of 2023 had to travel to other states to obtain care, statistics show.
