According to a new state report, only 146 abortions were performed in Indiana last year, the first in which the state's near-total abortion ban was in effect the entire 12 months.

A recent report estimates how abortion bans in states like Kentucky and Missouri affected birth rates during the first half of 2023. Its an early indicator that the bans arent equal in terms of impact.

Advocates say confusion around Indianas near-total abortion ban is hindering access to care even from states where abortion is still legal and accessible. The only statewide abortion fund in Indiana has seen a decline in the number of people reaching out for resources.
