US EditionAbortion clinics are closing, even in states where abortion is legal
- Since the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in the 2022 case involving Jackson Women’s Health Organization, there has been a consistent decrease in the number of abortion clinics nationwide, with 105 closures reported.
- This decline stems from tougher state restrictions, reductions in federal funding—including a $27.5 million cut imposed in March 2025 by the government agency responsible for health services—and a drop in donations following an initial increase after the ruling.
- Clinics face surging demand and increased abortion travel costs averaging over $1,000, while many abortions now occur via pills accessed through telehealth, apps, and virtual centers despite falling physical facility numbers.
- Between 2022 and 2023, Planned Parenthood carried out 402,230 abortions, operated 509 centers—a decrease from 567 facilities in 2022—and was allocated close to $800 million from taxpayer funding, although federal funds are prohibited from directly supporting abortion procedures.
- These trends suggest growing challenges to abortion access nationally, with further clinic closures possible, increased reliance on medical abortions, and intensified public health needs as advocates warn of a crisis.
