A new report from the pro-abortion Guttmacher Institute estimates that more than 1.12 million babies were killed in abortions in 2025.
That is a heartbreaking figure that remained virtually unchanged from the previous year despite state-level restrictions following the 2022 Dobbs decision. It provides more evidence that pro-life states need to keep fighting mail-order abortions and President Donald trump and the FDA need to step in to reverse the Biden rule allowing them.
The analysis put the estimated total at 1,126,000 abortions in the U.S. in 2025 — “that’s pretty much unchanged from 2024,” according to Isaac Maddow-Zimet, a data scientist at the Guttmacher Institute.
Pro-life advocates have decried the persistent high number of abortions as a continuing tragedy, noting that it equates to more than 3,000 unborn children losing their lives each day.
