Abortion Laws by State

This counts abortion-related bills moving through every legislature and Congress — the bills, not a verdict on them.

Methodology & sources

These are search results, not verdicts. The counts come from a LegiScan full-text search for the word “abortion” across every state and Congress. A full-text match means the bill mentions the topic — it does not mean the bill restricts or protects access. Determining a bill’s intent requires reading it, and a full-text search will also catch unrelated bills that mention the word in passing.
