(Life News)—Indiana’s 2024 quarterly abortion reports were published by the Indiana Department of Health (IDOH) throughout the year and into early 2025. The state’s annual 2024 abortion report, an aggregate of the 2024 quarterly reports, was published in April 2025.
These reports showed that in 2024, brick-and-mortar abortions in Indiana decreased drastically from 2023. This drastic decrease was likely due to the state’s life-at-conception law being in effect for the entirety of 2024. The law’s exceptions allow abortions to be performed in the cases where a continued pregnancy would threaten the mother’s life or physical health, if the unborn child was conceived via rape or incest, or if the unborn child had a lethal fetal anomaly.
In what follows, Charlotte Lozier Institute (CLI) summarizes the information in the abortion report published by the state. The data published by the state does not include the total number of abortions obtained by Indiana residents out of state or the number of self-managed abortions on women outside of the healthcare system. The report also does not contain the number of mail-order abortion drugs obtained by Indiana residents prescribed by licensed abortion providers in other states under shield laws.
In a separate section, CLI will describe data provided by the Guttmacher Institute’s Monthly Abortion Provision Study that details the number of abortions obtained by Indiana women in other states in 2023. Guttmacher’s abortion estimates include the number of abortions obtained at brick-and-mortar facilities and those provided via telehealth and virtual providers in the United States.
