Abortions Down 97% in Texas Following Overturning of Roe v. Wade+ Strong State Laws

Abortions in Texas dropped precipitously in the month following the overturning of Roe v Wade, dropping 97% according to the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, which released their preliminary results.
Whereas child murder statistics leading up to the Supreme Court decision averaged ranged from a low of 2514 abortions to a high of 3299 in the six months prior, July only recorded 68 abortions in the state.

The average of 2800 abortions a month before the overturning is also down 40% from the year before. Texas averaged around 5000 abortions a year until stringent laws introduced in September 2021 cut the number nearly in half.

Presently, all abortions are banned in abortion, unless the mothers life is at risk. There are no exceptions for rape or incest.
