There was an eight percent decline in the abortion rate in Missouri between 2014 and 2017, from 4.4 to 4.0 abortions per 1,000 women of reproductive age. From 2022 to 2024, abortions were only legal in cases of medical emergencies, with several additional laws designed to make accessing abortion services difficult.
