Summary

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

The CDC's 2022 abortion report reveals a slight 2% decrease in U.S. abortions, predominantly among women in their 20s. This drop comes amid state-level restrictions following the Supreme Court's ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade. While abortion access remains challenging, particularly in states with stringent bans, some women traveled out-of-state for care. Gaps in reporting data from several states contribute to uncertainty in understanding the full scope of abortion access and related implications, especially for marginalized groups.
