Official data shows Massachusetts performed nearly 50,000 abortion procedures in 2024, more than doubling the previous year's total. Approximately half of these services were provided to patients from states with restrictive abortion laws through mail-order medication programs.
Massachusetts has experienced a dramatic increase in abortion services, with state officials documenting close to 50,000 procedures completed in or facilitated by the state during 2024. This figure represents more than twice the approximately 24,000 procedures recorded in 2023.
The significant jump stems largely from Massachusetts clinics expanding their reach beyond state borders. Roughly 25,000 of the total procedures involved abortion medications shipped to patients residing in states with restrictive abortion policies.
This interstate provision of abortion services has sparked legal challenges, with multiple state attorneys general initiating court cases against out-of-state medical providers who distribute abortion medications in violation of their local regulations.
