This bar chart shows the percentage of abortions that were medication abortions since 2000, when the percentage was zero. The figure steadily increased, up to 53% in 2020, the first year it was close to half, and 63% in 2023.
Notes: The medication abortions counted are restricted to those in the formal U.S. health care system and do not include those with medication mailed to people in states with total abortion bans.
