More women in the US are seeking abortion care through telehealth than before the Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade, according to a new report.

One in five clinician-provided abortions performed in the first quarter of 2024 were obtained through telehealth services, the analysis from abortion advocacy group the Society of Family Planning showed. That contrasts with the second quarter of 2022, during which only one in 20 abortions were obtained through telehealth.
