Why this matters

The new Guttmacher tool calculating the health and economic value of safe abortion care arrives at a critical juncture in the US, where abortion access and law vary significantly by state. As states continue to enact restrictive abortion laws, this tool can help policymakers and advocates quantify the benefits of protecting and expanding access to abortion care. By instantly calculating the health and economic value of safe abortion care, the tool can inform decision-making at the state and national levels. The tool's release also highlights the importance of evidence-based policy, particularly in the context of reproductive health. For individuals seeking abortion care, resources like the National Abortion Federation Hotline and the Repro Legal Helpline remain crucial for navigating the complex and often restrictive landscape of abortion access in the US. The Guttmacher tool's ability to provide instant calculations can help amplify the need for comprehensive and equitable reproductive health policies.
