Abortion in Missouri

The chart represents the number of abortions performed each year in Missouri and received by Missouri residents, whether in the state or not, as reported by Missouri’s Department of Health and Senior Services.

Though abortion was recognized as a Constitutional right in 1973, the earliest data the Missouri Department of Health and Human Services maintains on abortions that took place in Missouri is from 1975. A spokesperson for the agency said it does not yet have the number of Missouri residents who sought abortions in 2022.
