Society of Family Planning says there were more abortions in the U.S. in 2024 than in either 2023 or 2022 .
The monthly number of abortions went from 83,930 in April 2022 to 102,040 in January 2024 .
In total, there were 1.14 million abortions performed in the United States last year , according to the #WeCount report.
# WeCount data shows abortion rates have risen since states started tightening abortion restrictions.
The report also demonstrates why these things remain such a target for anti-abortion activists.
