Indiana’s official abortion report for the second quarter of 2024, released on August 29, reveals 27 reported abortions for April, May and June – the lowest quarterly level in Indiana since before Roe vs. Wade in 1973.

The numbers represent a 98.6 percent drop in abortions compared to quarter two of last year, when Indiana’s abortion law was still blocked by the courts and 1,938 abortions were reported.

The drop from 2023 to 2024 represents 1,911 fewer babies aborted in Indiana in quarter two of 2024 versus quarter two of 2023.  Some key takeaways:

• The majority of abortions were chemically induced (59%).
• Indiana’s abortion rate (abortions per number of females 15-44) in Q2 2024 was .02 compared to 1.17 in Q2 2023.
• The majority of abortions were done on women ages 25-34 (41%).
• The large majority of abortions were done on women with some college credit, associate, or bachelor’s degree (67% percent).
• Nearly two-thirds of women suffering abortion complications (63%) were reported as Black of African American
