Safe abortion care saves lives, but access looks different depending on where you live. New Guttmacher research covers shifts in postabortion care in Kenya, unintended pregnancy among refugee teens in Uganda, and pharmacy access to abortion pills in Ethiopia. Learn more: https://gu.tt/4xaQtcg

Text on a violet background reads, "Guttmacher Research Roundup: Our latest findings on reproductive health globally." Below the title are bullet points summarizing findings from three different studies.

New findings from our Monthly Abortion Provision Study show how state bans, clinic closures & telehealth have shifted where & how abortion is accessed in the US—with many people still traveling far for care. We joined @abortioncare.bsky.social to share the latest data on travel for abortion care ⬇️

Colorful text on an off-white background says, "New Study, July 2026: Facts Over Fiction: Travel for Abortion Care." A travel route icon appears below the text. The Abortion Care Network and Guttmacher logos appear at the bottom.

NEW: DHS weaponizes confusion in "public charge" rule. "These policies will increase fear in immigrant communities, keep people from accessing care they qualify for, make communities sicker, & push increased costs onto everyone." — Community Catalyst VP of Policy & Gvt Affairs, Shaina Goodman

Despite widespread opposition, the Trump administration is moving forward with a final regulation threatening access to health and social services for millions of lawfully present immigrants and U.S. citizens in immigrant families. Read our statement. pifcoalition.org/resources/pr...

🚨DHS finalized a new rule that penalizes lawfully present and eligible immigrants for accessing vital services, leaving some lawfully present immigrant families with the impossible choice of gambling that accessing care won’t cost them their future.

Title X has been dedicated to ensuring critical & affordable #ReproductiveHealth care in the US for more than 50 years. Now, this vital program faces renewed threats by the Trump administration & larger anti‑abortion movement. Guttmacher experts examine the impact of these attacks ⬇️

Global Abortion Rights News@globalabortionnews.bsky.social · 3w ago

"The [Trump] administration is putting a heavy hand on the scale by reshaping Title X around a pronatalist, patriarchal vision of family, rather than one that is dedicated to providing the full scope of evidence-based services that patients need to feel fulfilled in their reproductive lives."

"It's really tough to coordinate work & childcare & a bunch of different things to go in person to a clinic, & telehealth can alleviate those barriers for some people." @kimyaf.bsky.social spoke with @nataliekrebs.bsky.social about Iowa's new #MedicationAbortion restriction: https://gu.tt/4weFH4m

Young people deserve education and resources that support their sexual and reproductive health. The cancelation of vital federal funding to grantees of the Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program will harm the many young people nationwide who rely on these programs. https://gu.tt/4ggEWDl

Federal health agency cancels most of its teen pregnancy prevention grants • Stateline

A spokesperson for U.S. Health and Human Services confirmed to Stateline on Friday that the agency is canceling 53 out of 67 grants, worth about $68 million, under the Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program, affecting grantees in more than two dozen states.

Nearly 43 million women in the US use birth control, but not all are using their preferred methods. Our latest research breaks down data on contraceptive use & preferences. Everyone deserves access to birth control methods that work best for them. More in our new fact sheet: https://gu.tt/44mHcS7

White and yellow text on a navy-blue background says, “New data on contraceptive use & preferences: Millions of women in the United States use birth control, but do they use their preferred method?”Yellow and white says, "57% of US women ages 15-49 currently use a contraceptive method." Below, in a row of 10 person-shaped icons, 6 icons are highlighted to represent the 42.8 million women using contraception. Data are from 2022-2023.White and yellow text on a violet banner says, "The most commonly used birth control methods reflect people's diverse preferences and the need for a full range of options." Below, a bar chart shows the proportion of US contraceptive users ages 15-49 by most common methods: Birth control pills at 23%, Condoms at 21%, Female permanent methods at 20%, Withdrawal at 19%, and IUDs at 16%. A note states that percentages account for use of multiple methods.White text on a navy blue background says, "Affordability is a key barrier to women’s use of preferred contraceptive methods." Two pie charts show that, if cost was not an issue, 13% of current contraceptive users would choose a different method (excluding those using only female permanent methods), and 31% of non-users would start using a method.

Understanding how attacks on gender-affirming care and abortion access overlap is critical to resisting them and building solidarity across both fights. More in our op-ed with the National LGBTQ Task Force via @advocate.com: https://gu.tt/3Q5eqBG #GenderAffirmingCare #AbortionAccess

Attacks on #MedicationAbortion based on false claims about water pollution have nothing to do with health or safety, and everything to do with restricting access to essential care. More from Guttmacher experts Anna Bernstein and @kimyaf.bsky.social via @19thnews.org: https://gu.tt/4wcRujK

Pregnancy Justice@pregnancyjust.bsky.social · last mo.

Post-Dobbs, the masks are off, and the anti-abortion and prenatal personhood movement is more aggressive than ever. Last year, we saw 15 bills introduced that would criminalize women for seeking abortions. This year, at least 12 were introduced or carried over.

Four years after Dobbs, millions face barriers to reproductive health care based on where they live, how much they earn, and who they are. Reproductive health care is essential health care. Health justice means everyone deserves the freedom to make decisions about their own body and future.

It's been 4 years since the #Dobbs decision & abortion is still severely restricted across the US—with 13 states currently banning care entirely. Advocates & policymakers must champion a bold vision of access that goes beyond Roe, rooted in evidence & human rights to guarantee access for all.

In violet and black text on a white background, a definition of Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization says, “The June 2022 US Supreme Court decision that overturned Roe v. Wade and ended the federal constitutional right to abortion. Dobbs cleared the way for states to pass total abortion bans and bans on abortion beginning early in gestation, accelerating the loss of abortion access in many states.” In the top right hand corner, a yellow circle with navy blue text says, "Repro Rights 101."

Four years ago today, the Supreme Court overturned our federal constitutional right to abortion. We’re committed to protecting and expanding reproductive rights for everyone, regardless of the state they live in.

Four years post-Dobbs, abortion bans and restrictions continue to force people to travel for access. Every day, we help patients navigate barriers that should never exist in the first place, and legal restrictions are often just the beginning.

Bold text on a green background reads - Different stories. The Same reality. four years after Dobbs, people are being forced to travel for abortion care. A cartoon woman with a yellow jackt and blue pants walks with a suitcase.Bold text reads: Olivia, 21 - “...Between the cost of the procedure and the added burden of traveling out of state due to laws in Georgia, I didn't know how I could manage and afford it on my own.”Bold text reads: Tybria, 25 “I looked into the abortion pill, but it was illegal in Texas. Months passed, and I was still struggling—feeling torn about bringing a baby into a broken home. Eventually, I found a clinic in New Mexico that could help, but the cost was $2,500.”Bold text reads: Brickelle, 31 “Abortion is illegal in Tennessee, and the political climate around all of it added another layer of pressure. I was also traveling alone for the first time, and on top of everything, there was pressure from people in my life to keep the pregnancy. The cost, the logistics, the emotional weight — it was a lot to handle at once.”

The Trump admin’s refusal to release $9.7M in contraceptives has cost US taxpayers an additional $434,317 for transportation & storage since January 2025. And with every month of inaction, the US spends an additional $24,000 on storage. We analyzed the cost to women: https://gu.tt/4eyO17W

White and yellow text on a navy and violet background reads, "The Trump administration is harming people and wasting US taxpayer dollars. The administration has blocked $9.7 million in already paid-for, vital contraceptive supplies intended for women in low-income countries." White and yellow text on a navy and violet background reads, "$8M in contraceptives have already expired or are unusable. The administration has spent an additional $434,000 to store blocked supplies since January 2025. These funds could have helped 43,900 women and couples get contraceptive care. 15,700 unintended pregnancies and 4,800 unsafe abortions could have been averted. The US continues to spend over $24,000 per month for storage."White and yellow text on a navy background reads, "The Trump Administration must release the contraceptives and make them available for vital health care.”
