There is not yet a single, final worldwide “official” total for abortions in 2025, but the best available estimates give a clear range and some specific partial numbers.

Global numbers in 2025

  • A widely cited global estimate is that more than 73 million abortions were performed worldwide in 2025 , based on World Health Organization rates compiled by the Worldometers platform.
  • This figure is consistent with WHO’s long‑running estimate that around 73 million abortions occur globally each year , which many news and advocacy outlets still reference.
  • These global numbers are modeled from population and fertility data, so they are estimates , not a precise count of every procedure.

United States data for 2025

  • For the United States , detailed data so far cover only the first half of 2025 , not the full year.
  • The Society of Family Planning’s #WeCount project reports 591,770 abortions in the U.S. healthcare system from January through June 2025.
  • Their data also show that about 27% of U.S. abortions in the first six months of 2025 were provided via telehealth , reflecting the growing role of mailed medication abortion under “shield laws.”

Trend context (before and into 2025)

  • In the U.S., #WeCount and other datasets show that monthly abortions have generally increased each year since 2022 , with the average monthly total rising from about 79,600 (2022) to 88,200 (2023), 95,300 (2024), and roughly 98,800 in early 2025.
  • A KFF summary notes that there were about 1.14 million abortions in all of 2024 in the U.S. , compared with about 1.06 million in 2023 , indicating a continuing post‑Dobbs increase.
  • Because 2025 is only partially reported, full‑year U.S. totals are still being analyzed, but early 2025 levels are slightly above 2024 on a month‑to‑month basis.

Limits and uncertainty

  • Many datasets count clinician‑provided abortions in formal healthcare systems , and may miss self‑managed abortions (for example, pills obtained outside tracked clinics or telehealth programs).
  • Global estimates depend on modeling in regions with weak reporting, so the 73 million figure should be read as an approximate global burden, not an exact tally.
  • Because of these gaps, the true number of abortions in 2025 is likely higher than any single published count , especially when informal or unreported access is included.
