WASHINGTON (OSV News) — The number of abortions in the U.S. increased in 2021, according to new data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the U.S. national public health agency, and the agency’s last report of such data with Roe v. Wade still in place.

For nearly 50 years following the Jan. 22, 1973, Roedecision, abortion was legally considered a constitutional right. The Supreme Court later overturned the Roe decision in June 2022 with its decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, allowing both recent and long-established state laws restricting abortion access to take effect.

Since the Dobbs decision in 2022, states across the country have alternately moved to restrict or expand access to abortion.

[Ave Maria]

I just hope and pray for all people who got an abortion and for those who helped others get them, that they repent before they die. Abortion is intrinsically evil and is a mortal sin if done with full knowledge of its evil nature and full consent of the will. It will send a person to Hell if they do it and meet the conditions for it to be a mortal sin. Thankfully, God is merciful and will forgive you if you go to Confession.
