More than half (53%) of reproductive-age women in states with abortion-provision bans say they would not know where to go or where to find information if they needed an abortion, up from 43% in 2024, our new survey finds: on.kff.org/4yOosYG
The KFF bar chart shows the breakdown of women 18 to 49 based on their abortion policy in the state of residence. It shows if they wanted or needed an abortion in the near future do they know where they can get one. The answer options are: yes, no, but I know where I can find the information and no, and I don't know where to find the information.
