SALT LAKE CITY — Utah had the nation’s lowest abortion rate before the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, according to the Guttmacher Institute, which conducts a regular census of family planning healthcare providers.
Other states perform far fewer abortions, but the rate of residents getting abortions is higher than Utah’s rate. By the last count in 2020, there were 4.4 abortions performed for every 1,000 females between 15 and 44 years old.Nationally, Guttmacher has shown a relatively steady decline in the number of abortions performed — from about 1.6 million in 1991 to about 800,000 in 2017. That trend reversed slightly in their latest census.
Abortion opponents have advocated for more support for family planning services since the decision was passed down. Utah funded family planning services at $2.07 per capita in federal and state money at last count.And almost every penny spent in Utah was federal. The state itself allocated $0.01 per capita on family planning services.
Oppression has many faces
Sure probably because utah lies about its numbers when it comes to this because the church has a say in politics an run this state so their state has to look good for the rest of United States and the government!
Wow. So basically the only abortions in the state are the women that were at the Capitol? I would have thought half the state was getting them based on the hysteria.
Lots of women probably went to Denver or Las Vegas. Lower chance of running into someone from Relief Society.
Can’t wait to watch the suicide rates climb or even alley way abortion death climb across the country over women rights being stripped from them.
And it’s gonna get even lower. 👍🏼
