The five states with the largest increases per week were those that enacted total abortion bans: Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Oklahoma.
That was similar to the increases that occurred after Texas enacted its near-total abortion ban last year and at the height of the pandemic in states where abortion services were suspended for several weeks, said Abigail R.A. Aiken, an associate professor of public affairs at the University of Texas at Austin, one of the study's authors.
In states with total bans, the percentage of requesters who cited “current abortion restrictions” as a reason for using Aid Access doubled from 31% before the draft decision was leaked to 62% after the court's ruling. Requests for abortion pills also rose in states where the legal status of abortion didn't immediately change, the study found, saying possible explanations included"increased awareness of the service, confusion about state laws, and disruption to in-clinic services following increases in out-of-state patients."

Travel time to abortion facilities has quadrupled post-Roe, study findsThe amount of time women will have to travel to receive an abortion has quadrupled from about half an hour to nearly two hours since the Supreme Court overruled Roe v. Wade this summer, a new study finds. The decision -- known as Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization -- determined that there is no constitutional right to an abortion and gave individual states full power to regulate abortion. Researchers from several institutions, including the University of California, San Francisco; Boston Children's Hospital; Boston University; and Harvard University looked at how far women lived from an abortion clinic while Roe was still in effect -- from January 2021 to December 2021 -- compared with how far women lived post-Dobbs.
