Editorial: The post-Roe strategy: Elect more abortion access champions (via latimesopinion )
anniversary of Roe vs. Wade, the landmark Supreme Court ruling guaranteeing a constitutional right to abortion, advocates of reproductive rights are observing the grim one-year mark since the court overturned that ruling — and mapping out strategies for restoring abortion access where it was lost and preserving it where it still exists.
Rarely does the court take away established rights, but that’s what the conservative majority of this Supreme Court did in its ruling inToday, the country is a shifting. There are at least 12 states with complete bans in effect. Nearly a dozen others have banned abortions after a certain point in gestation, ranging from six to 18 weeks, though some have been blocked by the courts.
The ruling ignores good sense, sound medical judgment and more than two decades of safe usage around the world. Mifepristone has been used safely in the U.S. for more than 20 years. Medical care for pregnant people in many states has been badly affected by the new restrictions. Some doctors and hospitals in states that only allow abortion care in emergency situations are so worried about breaking the law, they have refused to perform abortions until a patient’s health is in serious peril.
Meanwhile, reproductive rights advocates have sued to block some state bans and restrictive laws, arguing that they violate personal protections already in state constitutions. But when courts have agreed to block the laws, state legislators often just retool them.
