Abortion bans don't harm women. Fearmongering does

This week marked the third anniversary of the landmark decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. On June 24, 2022, the Supreme Court announced the 6-3 split, essentially returning the abortion issue to individual states.

In the years since, abortion laws across the country have changed. But, according to The Guttmacher Institute, the number of abortions in the United States has actually increased since 2020. And from 2023 and 2024, the number of abortions went up by about 1%.
