Abortion rates in New York have risen by 90%, with the Guttmacher Institute reporting that 2023 saw a total of 130,000 abortions, the highest recorded since the state legalized abortion in 1970. This increase is attributed to women traveling from pro-life states to abortion-friendly locations like New York and the illegal mailing of abortion pills. Overall, the U. S. has also experienced an increase in abortions, exceeding one million for the first time in ten years, partially due to a rise in chemical abortions, which now represent 46% of all abortions in New York.
Many counties in New York City saw significant increases in abortions, especially related to chemical abortions, which accounted for 71% of the city's total increase. The data does not include out-of-state women who traveled to New York for abortions or who received pills illegally from there, as New York State has not publicly released this information. The abortion industry shifted from surgical to chemical abortions in anticipation of potential state restrictions.
CompassCare, a pro-life organization, anticipated this growth and has developed supportive infrastructure in New York to provide alternatives to abortion. They have faced opposition from state officials for their efforts. The text emphasizes the need for more support and resources for women seeking alternatives to abortion.
The message concludes by encouraging pro-life advocates to remain committed to their cause and highlights the importance of serving women and protecting unborn children. The CEO of CompassCare expresses hope for the future and aims to expand their reach in assisting women in the upcoming years.
