A reported 17,377 abortions had been performed in Florida this year as of June 2, a 45.8 percent decrease from a comparable period in 2024, according to state data.
The drop came after a law took effect in May 2024 that prevented most abortions after six weeks of pregnancy. As of June 3, 2024, a reported 32,081 abortions had been performed last year, state data showed at the time.
Of the 17,377 abortions this year, 17,269 were in the first trimester of pregnancy and 108 were in the second trimester, according to a state Agency for Health Care Administration report. Of the second-trimester abortions, 70 were performed because of a “fatal fetal abnormality,” while 21 were performed because of what was listed as a “serious fatal genetic defect, deformity or abnormality” and 17 were because of a “life endangering physical condition” of the woman.

glad to hear that a woman can still get the health care she needs to save her life. The % down, though, doesn’t take into consideration women leaving the state for health care. Are we really that stupid to count a win that isn’t one?
Atwp says
Are the numbers right?
Deborah Coffey says
Just tell us how many pregnant women are dead from lack of needed healthcare due to the anti-woman law. How many? Hundreds?
Al says
Let’s change the narrative, 18,000 children born that would have been killed. The law is working and it’s protecting the lives of children that wouldn’t exist otherwise. There is due process where a woman can petition the court for approval. Why is due process so important for the illegals but not for children?
JC says
Al, you didn’t read the law did you? The court process is only for minors who want to get an abortion, not for adults. Also do you understand what due process is?
what have you done says
AI- what happens to the children born where the mother doesn’t want them (doesn’t matter why). What have you done? Adopt? Paid for an under aged woman to have that child (doesn’t matter why). How do you support those children that don’t have parental support? Answer to that and I might begin to listen
Al says
Why has it now been reduced to money. I pay a large tax bill and watch it wasted on foreign aid, lazy people, and illegals. Is this more a racial thing being most abortions are done to blacks and other minority women? Just state your true purpose and don’t hide under a women’s health skirt.
Mr. Bill says
Al….I couldn’t agree more. 18000 God given lives, that no woman or man that refused to take birth control cautions can snuff out and call it “health care”. 18 thousand wonderful life changing babies. That’s more than the entire population of Flagler Beach, Bunnell, Beverly Beach, and Ormond by the Sea put together! How many from the above populations wished their parents had “heal cared” them.
I didn’t think so.
JC says
Al….you still didn’t answer my question regarding do you understand what due process is?
Also no offence, most of the people who are mostly Anti-Abortion keep talking about minorities as a prop. I know some who use that talking point about Abortion also say the same minorities are leeches to the federal government and don’t want to live near them. Ok to not like minorities except the “babies” lives.
