A recent Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) report has revealed that the number of abortions in Texas has plummeted to almost zero after the Lone Star State imposed a near-total abortion ban in the aftermath of the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
The report, which covers the period from July 2022 to March 2024, highlights a continuous decrease in the number of abortions – from thousands per month to virtually none. This data has been analyzed and corroborated by the Texas Alliance for Life.
Texas, recognized as one of the most restrictive states regarding abortion laws by the Guttmacher Institute, has seen the effects of the Human Life Protection Act, which bans abortions with very limited exceptions. (Related: Abortions in Texas drop 97% after Roe v. Wade overturn.)
According to the Act, abortions are only permitted when there is a serious risk of substantial impairment to a major bodily function of the pregnant woman. During the 21 months covered in the report, doctors in Texas performed 102 medically necessary abortions, with five of these procedures occurring in hospitals in March.
Some experts don't actually believe in "medically necessary" abortion.
"The narrative that pro-life laws will prevent treatment of life-threatening complications affecting pregnant women, requiring them to travel out of state to access necessary medical care is blatantly false," said Dr. Ingrid Skop when she testified to the U.S. Senate. Skop is a member of Texas' Maternal Mortality and Morbidity Review Committee.
Arkansas and Indiana also reported an abortion drop in June
A report from the Society for Family Planning, a pro-abortion group, tried to downplay the data and claimed that abortions are higher after the reversal of Roe v. Wade.
But other reports indicate that this drop in abortions is not isolated in Texas. Other states like Arkansas and Indiana have also reported massive drops in abortions performed after their states passed similar abortion restrictions into law.
In June, the Induced Abortion Report, released by the Arkansas Department of Health, showed that the state reported no abortion in 2023. This marks a significant drop from the 3,133 abortions reported in 2021, the last full year abortion was available.
Meaning to say, the nearly total abortion ban, which went into effect after the reversal of Roe v. Wade in June 2022, has been effective.
Similarly, in June, the Terminated Pregnancy Report from the Indiana State Department of Health also revealed that there were only 45 abortions reported in the state between Jan. 1 to Mar. 31. This marks a 98 percent drop from the same time in 2023 after a state law went into effect to ban nearly all abortions.
