Women living in US states with abortion restrictions have shifted from travelling out of state to get the procedure to taking abortion pills prescribed via telehealth, according to a report published Tuesday by the pro-abortion Guttmacher Institute.
In 13 states with abortion bans, about 91,000 women received abortion pill prescriptions via telehealth in 2025, the report said. That number marks an increase of more than 25% compared with 72,000 prescriptions in 2024, according to the institute´s estimates.
