California abortion numbers for the first 10 months of 2023 are estimated to have surpassed the total numbers of abortions reported for the state in all of 2020. The reason is likely the radical effort by state lawmakers to expand abortion and turn the state into an abortion sanctuary, funded by state taxpayers.<\/p>\n

Estimates comparing 2020 to 2023 indicate sharp increase in CA and NY abortions<\/b><\/p>\n

The latest abortion data is from Planned Parenthood’s former research arm and “special affiliate,” the Guttmacher Institute, which has published national state abortion data for 2020<\/a>. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) does not publish abortion numbers for California; there are no national abortion reporting requirements.<\/p>\n

Live Action News<\/a> previously reported that, in 2020, just two states \u2014 California (154,060<\/a>) and New York (110,360) \u2014 collectively committed well over 264,000 abortions \u2014 or nearly 30% of all abortions reported in the United States<\/i>. California committed the highest number reported among all states and the District of Columbia (D.C.), with New York coming in a close second, according to Guttmacher<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And shockingly, 2020 abortion totals from just five<\/i> states made up nearly half<\/i> of all abortions reported in the entire nation.<\/p>\n

Estimated monthly abortion numbers published<\/a> by Guttmacher indicate that anywhere from 160,000 to 173,000 abortions are estimated to have been committed just between the months of January 2023 and October 2023 (a 10-month span); again, these are not precise counts, but estimates. The estimates also indicate that anywhere from 115,000 to 142,000 abortions were committed in the state of New York within this same time.<\/p>\n

What an ‘abortion sanctuary’ looks like<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 2021, California Governor Gavin Newsom vowed<\/a> the state would be a sanctuary<\/a> for abortion \u2014 a reason some believe the abortion numbers are climbing in the state. The actions taken by the Newsom administration to expand abortion have been blatant and extreme<\/a>:<\/p>\n
