The Society’s latest #WeCount report is out now, with data through Dec. 2025. This report finds that in 2025, the number of abortions provided through the formal health system remained higher than before the Dobbs decision overturned the federal right to abortion: societyfp.org/research/wec...

Yesterday SCOTUS ruled to allow mifepristone access to continue via telehealth. #WeCount Director Leah Koenig, PhD, MSPH spoke to the New York Times about the role of telehealth in the current abortion landscape, underscoring its importance for access in every state: www.nytimes.com/2026/05/14/u...

New #WeCount data: Preliminary findings make it unmistakably clear that telehealth is a cornerstone of abortion access in the US. Key findings: there were approximately 1.1 million abortions in 2025, and 28% of abortions in December 2025 were provided via telehealth. societyfp.org/research/wec...
