Fewer abortions in Arizona as new laws take hold

The number of abortions performed in Arizona dropped by about a third in September after new state laws tightened restrictions and requirements.

The new restrictions and requirements took effect in August and September, and preliminary state figures indicate 729 abortions were performed in September. That’s down nearly 31 percent from September 2010, down nearly 32 percent from August 2011 and down 39 percent from the previous 12-month average of just over 1,200.

Planned Parenthood Arizona CEO Bryan Howard said availability of abortion services is reduced mainly because of a new law requiring all abortion facilities to have physicians involved in medication abortions previously performed only by physicians assistants. A separate law also prohibited nurse practitioners from performing surgical abortions.

Planned Parenthood Arizona since August has dropped abortion services at seven of its 10 locations statewide, including all three clinics in cities outside the Phoenix and Tucson areas.
