Abstract

Objectives. To examine changes in abortion service delivery for the years before (July 2021‒June 2022) and after Dobbs v Jackson Women's Health (July 2022‒June 2023) at 3 Planned Parenthood clinics in southern Michigan, when several states enacted laws further restricting abortion access, and Michigan became a destination for individuals in restrictive states. Methods. We used monthly abortion data from 3 Michigan clinics to calculate the mean number of monthly abortions and changes in proportions for gestation, method, and patient state of residence for the 2 time periods. Results. Mean monthly abortions increased from 358 before Dobbs to 575 after Dobbs. Simultaneously, out-of-state patients increased from 383 before Dobbs to 1145 after Dobbs and received a larger share of total abortions. Methods shifted slightly, with medication abortions decreasing from 58% to 53% and procedural abortions at less than 14 weeks increasing from 31% to 36%. Most out-of-state patients came from Indiana and Ohio. Conclusions. The increasing number of out-of-state patients and increased provision of procedural abortions represent both increased need among patients from restrictive states and adaptability among providers in protective states such as Michigan-underscoring changes in care amid the rapidly evolving abortion landscape in the United States.
