Statewide:
We are sad to report that 25,136 persons died from an abortion in 2025. That was 25,135 unborn babies and one mother. That is about a 15% increase in the number of abortions performed in 2024. Furthermore, we saw a massive increase in out-of-state abortions, an alarming number of minors who had abortions, and an explosion in the number of abortion-related complications.
- This means that in 2025, in Ohio, 69 babies died by abortion each day.
- 1 woman died from an abortion.
- 5,243 out-of-state abortions.
- 560 minors had abortions.
- 250 or more distinct patients experienced post-abortion complications.
Locally:
5027 abortions were performed in Central OH. This includes facilities in Franklin, Delaware, Fairfield, Richland, and Athens Counties.
- This means that in 2025, in Central Ohio, 14 babies died by abortion each day.
- 70% of all abortions were nonsurgical, mostly the Abortion Pill.
Heartbreaking, but not without Hope...
These numbers are heartbreaking, but we are not without hope. Greater Columbus Right to Life is working with partners in the pregnancy help, abortion pill reversal, and post-abortion healing communities to get more information and life-affirming help to the people who need it most.
Churches, schools, and families have an opportunity – and an obligation, to speak the truth about the dignity of every human life. The 2025 abortion statistics report is a call to action. We cannot count on the laws to protect unborn children any longer; it is time to lace up our boots and speak out – in our families, at our churches, on the public sidewalks, and in every space touched by our culture.
