Abortions in Texas fell significantly during the initial months following the overturning of Roe v. Wade, with the red state implementing resolute anti-abortion laws while Republican lawmakers are pushing forward more pro-life policies nationwide.
Only three abortions took place in Texas in August 2022, down from 2,596 in June, when the U.S. Supreme Court overruled Roe v. Wade, according to data from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission. This represents a 99.88 percent drop in abortions in a span of two months.
