A new study found the U.S. saw its highest number of abortions in over a decade during 2023, despite the Supreme Court’s decision to strike down Roe v.

67%
A new CBS News poll finds 67% of Americans want to see the abortion pill mifepristone remain available. Even some who are more generally opposed to abortion hold this view. And these views are not purely partisan: almost half of Republicans think the medication ought to be available.
