Florida reported a 38% decrease in abortions during the first four months of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, with 13,951 abortions this year versus 22,409 last year.
This significant decline follows the implementation of a law in May 2024 that restricts most abortions after six weeks of pregnancy, emphasizing the importance of early pregnancy health monitoring.
Notably, abortions among out-of-state patients dropped sharply from 1,972 in early 2024 to 456 in 2025, reflecting reduced access for non-residents under the new law.
Most abortions performed this year occurred in the first trimester, with 13,863 reported cases, while 88 second-trimester abortions were allowed only for severe fetal abnormalities or life-threatening conditions for the pregnant woman.
