Pro-abortion advocates are raving about the success they are having after a bombshell report revealed that abortion figures experienced a massive surge.
Despite numerous state bans, liberals have found a novel method to bypass restrictions: telehealth.
Pro-abortion activists are exploiting technology to circumvent the will of voters and lawmakers who fought to protect the unborn after Roe v. Wade was overturned.
These telehealth prescriptions actually create a dangerous digital loophole around lifesaving protections.
The WeCount project of the Society of Family Planning released a stunning report showing abortion numbers increased to about 1.1 million in 2024.
This represents a significant rise from the 88,000 monthly abortions in 2023 and the 80,000 monthly in late 2022.
The surge demonstrates the growing exploitation of telehealth to facilitate abortion access despite state laws.
The report coincides with the third anniversary of the Supreme Court’s monumental decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, which returned abortion regulation to the states.
Despite 12 states enacting total abortion bans and four states implementing restrictions around six weeks of pregnancy, abortion advocates have found technological workarounds to these enacted protections.
Most alarming is the dramatic increase in telehealth abortions, with the report indicating that 1 in 4 abortions were accessed this way by late 2024.
This digital bypassing of state laws poses serious concerns for women’s health, as these procedures often occur without proper medical supervision or emergency support if complications arise.
Democrat-controlled states have undermined pro-life protections by enacting laws that shield telehealth providers who prescribe abortion pills to women in states with restrictions.
The report estimates that about half of telehealth abortions in 2024 were facilitated by these “protective” laws that prioritize abortion access over states’ rights to protect the unborn.
In response, conservative states are fighting back against this digital invasion of their jurisdiction.
Louisiana and Texas are pursuing legal actions to restrict access to abortion pills, with Louisiana lawmakers advancing a bill to further restrict access to these dangerous medications.
Texas is pursuing civil penalties against a New York doctor for prescribing abortion pills to Texas residents in violation of state law.
Pro-life advocates are concerned about the minimal safeguards surrounding telehealth abortions.
Women receiving these pills may face serious complications without proper medical supervision.
SBA Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser announced that she would spearhead efforts to get Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and other officials to investigate abortion pills.
She also revealed that the group would fight for these pills to be dispensed only in person.
The fight to protect the unborn continues as pro-life advocates work to close these dangerous telehealth loopholes.
While current abortion numbers remain below the peak of nearly 1.6 million annually in the late 1990s, the rising trend threatens to undo the progress made the past few years.
