SUMMARY: The number of Texans seeking abortions out of state nearly tripled in 2022, following the implementation of a state law that prohibits the procedure in almost all cases. Data from the Texas and Human Services Commission reveals that at least 4,718 Texas residents received an abortion in a different state last year, compared to 1,712 in 2021. However, the total number of abortions for Texas residents more than halved in the same period, with fewer than 22,000 performed in 2022, down from over 52,000 in 2021. It's important to note that the reported number may be higher as reporting to the system is voluntary and not all states participate.
