The number of abortions in the U.S. rose again in 2024, with women continuing to find ways to get them despite bans and restrictions in many states, according to a report out Monday.

The latest report from the WeCount project of the Society of Family Planning, which supports abortion access, was released a day before the third anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade and ended nearly 50 years of legal abortion nationally for most of pregnancy.

Good. Abortion should be readily accessible, inexpensive, and largely non-impact to a woman's life.

This should be the good-news and uplifting-news communities

Conservatives can try to quash women's bodily autonomy, and they're certainly having a great degree of success, but people are still finding ways to help and that makes me happy
