Legal Abortions Drop 98Percent in Indiana Over the Last Year

The Indiana Department of Health reveals a 98% decrease in abortions in 2024 compared to 2022.
This marks the first full year since Indiana’s near-total abortion ban took effect.
The report, released in April, shows 146 abortions occurred in 2024.
In 2023, while the ban was partially in effect, there were a total of 4,579 abortions performed in Indiana.
Before the ban was in effect in 2022, there were a total of 9,529 abortions.
Most of these procedures were due to lethal fetal anomalies, serious health risk to the mother, or in cases of rape or incest.
