The numbers, 2025

How abortions still reach Idaho.

Abortion is outlawed in Idaho, yet Idaho children are still lost. It happens two ways: abortion pills are mailed into the state, and Idaho residents travel to the states around us.

By mail

Pills in an envelope.

A woman in Idaho can meet a prescriber online, from a state whose laws shield that prescriber, and receive abortion pills by mail. The child is lost at home.

These abortions happen outside any clinic, so they are estimated by research groups rather than reported to Idaho's health department.

Across the border

Where Idaho residents go.

Clinics in Washington, Oregon and Utah are within driving distance of Idaho's largest towns. Each arrow is a road out of Idaho, and the number beside it is how many Idaho residents took it.
