The report from the university’s Texas Policy Evaluation Project compared the changes in the number of in-state abortions that occurred between July and September 2021 to the number of abortions that were performed during the same period last year.

There were 2,164 abortions performed in September 2021, the month after Texas Senate Bill 8 ban went into effect on Sept. 1. That is a 49.8 percent drop from the 4,313 abortions that were performed in September 2020.
