Just released Guttmacher Institute analysis shows that the year of 2012 will likely have just as many (and possibly more) state abortion restriction as 2011, which was a record number. Some findings from its mid-year report:
- In the first half of 2012, states have enacted 39 new restrictions on access to abortion
- 14 of the new restrictions have been enacted in just three states—Arizona, Louisiana and South Dakota
- 55% of women of reproductive age in the United States live in one of the 26 states considered hostile to abortion
- Comparing 2012 from 2011, a lower proportion of restrictions passed by one legislative body have become law—30% of restrictions passed by one chamber so far this year have been enacted, which is much lower than the 51% signed into law by this point in 2011
