(LifeSiteNews) – Florida has seen yet another significant drop in abortions in 2025, new data from the state Agency for Healthcare Administration (AHCA) shows.

Florida Right to Life reported that, as of the middle of the year, the number of abortions dropped 40.4% from the same point in 2025. What’s more, the “number of non-Florida residents seeking abortions in the state of Florida fell dramatically from 2,928 to 744, marking a major decrease in out-of-state women seeking an abortion,” according to AHCA. Nearly every county in the state saw a decline.

“We in Florida are blessed to have a Republican, pro-life super majority and Ron DeSantis, a solidly pro-life governor,” Florida Right to Life president Lynda Bell said. “It is obvious that elections certainly do have consequences. When you elect the right people to office, you get life-affirming results. Because of good pro-life legislation like the Heartbeat Bill, Florida is no longer an abortion destination for abortion seekers from Southern states.”

Most abortions are illegal in Florida, thanks to both a 15-week abortion ban and a heartbeat-based abortion ban enacted much earlier but not allowed to take effect until April 2024, when the Florida Supreme Court ruled that the Florida Constitution contains no “right” to abortion that would invalidate them. Until then, there was significant concern that the Sunshine State’s lack of protection for preborn babies would make it a magnet for residents of more protective states in the region who sought to dispose of their children.

The abortion lobby then attempted to invalidate those and every other state pro-life law with a ballot initiative that would add a “right” to abortion to the constitution, but it failed last November, ending a winning streak such amendments had enjoyed in the rest of the country.

However, work continues to restrict abortion further still, such as a bill to allow family members to sue for the wrongful death of a preborn child. That bill passed the state House but on May 3 was “indefinitely postponed and withdrawn from consideration” in the state Senate, with which DeSantis has been at odds over a multitude of issues. It officially died in the Rules Committee on June 16.
