Note: Where we have not yet received a response, we have indicated that we are “awaiting response.” Where we have been told that the attorney general or health department has not yet replied to the congressional committee, or does not intend to do so, we have indicated that there are “no responsive documents.” See the methodology for more.

RH Reality Check submitted requests to the health departments and offices of the attorney general in each of the 50 states, asking for copies of whatever documents those offices had sent to the congressional committees in response to letters seeking information about abortion.
Our initial requests were sent in mid-May. We have now received final responses from 48 state attorneys general and 41 state health departments. Those responses include instances where states either did not respond to the congressional requests, have not responded yet, or say they did not receive the congressional requests. In those instances, we have indicated that there are “no responsive documents.” Where we have not yet received a final response, we have indicated that we are “awaiting response.”
In most cases, however, the states provided us with copies of the substantive responses they sent to the congressional committees. New York is the only state from which we have not received any final response at all.
Our analysis was based on a review of answers from more than half of the states, received by August’s publication deadline. We will continue to report the findings from these documents as part of our State of Abortion series. We ask those who use these documents in their work to link to us and to credit RH Reality Check appropriately.
