There are about a dozen fewer brick-and-mortar abortion clinics in the US than there were two years ago, according to a new report. There were 753 brick-and-mortar abortion clinics in the US at the end of 2025, according to a new report by the Guttmacher Institute — ​54 fewer than in ​2020, including a net loss of 12 abortion clinics since March 2024. In New York, abortion is legal and protected; voters enshrined the right to abortion in the state’s constitution in 2024. The closure was “a big blow,” said Chelsea Williams-Diggs, executive director of the New York Abortion Access Fund. “That has direct impacts on abortion access and on abortion funds,” Williams-Diggs said.
