Legal abortions have decreased by 3% nationwide as several states have taken steps to limit or even ban abortion.<\/p>\n<p>The Dobbs decision, handed down on June 24, 2022, granted all 50 states the authority to make decisions regarding abortion restrictions. In the year following this historic ruling, many Republican-led states have implemented measures to limit access to abortion. As a result, there has been a noticeable increase in the number of abortions performed in Democratic-led states, as reported by Axios.<\/p>\n<h3>Illinois Experiences a Surge in Abortion Patients<\/h3>\n<p>Planned Parenthood of Illinois has witnessed a significant 54% increase in the number of abortion patients over the past year.

Notably, only 25% of Democrats support the Dobbs decision, while a significant 68% of Republicans stand in favor.<\/p>\n<p>President Joe Biden took to social media to mark the one-year anniversary of the Dobbs decision, expressing his disappointment with the Supreme Court&#8217;s ruling. He stated, &#8220;The Supreme Court took away a constitutional right from the American people.&#8221; Biden also emphasized the need for Congress to codify the protections of Roe v. Wade to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/abortions-nationwide-are-down-3-a-year-after-roe-v-wade-overturned\/\" title=\"Abortion rates decrease by 3% annually post Roe v Wade reversal.\">ensure lasting safeguards<\/a> for reproductive rights.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Click here to read more from The Washington Examiner.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>The Justices Behind the Dobbs Decision<\/h3>\n<p>A year ago, several Supreme Court justices appointed by Republican presidents joined Justice Samuel Alito in authoring the opinion for the case Dobbs v.
