Abortions On the Rise in VA!
If the extremist abortion amendment is approved by voters in November, we can expect a significant increase in abortions in Virginia each year.
Consider the national data released by the Guttmacher Institute this year which shows a dramatic, and troubling, rise in abortions across the United States, especially in Virginia. These numbers underscore what is at stake as Virginians prepare to vote on the proposed Extremist Abortion Amendment this November.
National Abortion Trends: What the Guttmacher Report Shows
According to the Guttmacher Institute, which is the nation’s leading pro‑abortion data tracker, abortion has surged to the highest level in U.S. history since national reporting began.
Key findings from the report (Guttmacher Monthly Abortion Provision Study) include:
1,129,000 abortions occurred in 2025, the highest number ever recorded in the U.S.
A 21% increase from 2020, and a significant rise compared to pre‑Dobbs levels.
Abortions increased even in states with restrictions. States with permissive laws saw the largest increases, including Virginia.
These numbers confirm a national trend: abortion has risen sharply since the Dobbs decision, not declined.
