This More or Less podcast episode investigates the unexpected rise in US abortion numbers following the overturning of Roe v. Wade. Host Lizzy McNeill interviews data scientist Isaac Madozimit from the Guttmacher Institute and public health scientist Dr. Ushma Upadhyay of We Count.

The experts highlight the limitations of government data and emphasize that many individuals in states with abortion bans still lack access to care.
