No it is not. But they can not make a law against a method that can save a woman's life. So it's illegal but the different states also have their own laws against it but as always you can never deny abortion for health reasons so in order to save her life it can be done if no other method works. Which it usually does. And now we are really talking saving her life. It has to be really serious cases so basically it's never done.
No one knows for sure since it was impossible to count because it was illegal but the WHO knows today that in countries where it is illegal the amount of abortions is the same as if it was legal. It's just unsafer and more dangerous. Today there are 1,2 million legal abortions a year in the US.
