Illinois was the top state where Tennesseans traveled for abortions in 2023, according to a new estimate by an abortion rights group.

By the numbers: Tennessee residents obtained 10,570 out-of-state abortions, according to estimates from the Guttmacher Institute.

Illinois led the way with 7,120 followed by North Carolina with 1,280.

Out-of-state travel for abortions, including for the procedure or to obtain abortion pills, more than doubled from 2020 to 2023, Axios' Sareen Habeshian reports.

State of play: Tennessee imposed an abortion ban after the U.S. Supreme Court's Dodd ruling.

The legislature has also passed laws to curb out-of-state abortions .
