Southern abortion bans push patients North to Virginia

As abortion bans tighten across the South, Virginia’s become a lifeline.

New data shows the Commonwealth saw the biggest jump in abortions nationwide last year—up by over 5,500. Nearly 1 in 4 patients came from out of state, with many traveling from Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina just to get care.

While abortion is still legal here, it’s not protected in the state constitution—and advocates say the threats are growing.

Just this year, Gov. Glenn Youngkin vetoed protections for contraception. If that’s any clue, the fight for reproductive rights in Virginia is far from over.
