— Wisconsin has seen rising abortion rates since late 2023, including both in-person and telehealth abortions, a new report shows.
The Society of Family Planning today released its latest #WeCount report, which tracks abortion trends across the country since just before Roe v Wade was overturned, starting in April 2022.
It shows that in Wisconsin, abortions this year have risen to around the same level they were before the U.S. Supreme Court decision, with a total of 700 abortions in June, the latest month covered by the report.
That’s just above the 690 abortions the state had in May 2022, though many more are now being provided through telehealth. While only 20 of the abortions provided in May 2022 in the state were done by telehealth and the rest were in person, 210 abortions in June 2025 were through telehealth and the other 490 were in person.
The state had no in-person abortions between July 2022 and August 2023 and relatively few telehealth abortions during that period, the report shows. Since September 2023, Wisconsin has had an upward trend for abortions being provided.
For the first six months of the year, the average number of monthly abortions for the state was 710, exceeding the average for the same period last year, about 547.
The report also spotlights Illinois, where state law protects abortion access and thousands of Wisconsinites have sought abortions since the national right to abortion was overturned. A separate report from the office of U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-Madison says Wisconsin residents made up the greatest share of patients getting care from Planned Parenthood of Illinois following the court’s decision.
Illinois continues to provide more abortion care than it did before then, the #WeCount report shows, with about 7,500 abortions per month over the first half of this year, compared to about 5,500 per month leading up to Roe v Wade being overturned.
