One year after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, more than one-quarter of states have banned abortion outright, and more have severely restricted access. And for some, abortion access is now an issue of financial and geographic circumstances.
The day Mayron Hollis discovered she was pregnant in spring 2022 was the same day doctors gave her terrible news: The pregnancy could be fatal to both her and her fetus.
Hollis is among the 65 million women and girls of childbearing age in the U.S. who have been caught in the piecemeal landscape of abortion policy since the Supreme Court’s Dobbs v. Jackson decisionin June 2022. Since the ruling, more than one-quarter of states have banned abortion outright, and several more have severely restricted access.
.More than 28 million women of reproductive age live in states where abortion is banned, unavailable or restricted, with 2 million more in the two states where abortion is available but restrictions are pending.a nonprofit research organization focused on reproductive rights and abortion The Boston University research found that the travel time impacts were particularly acute for women of color: The share of Black women farther than an hour’s drive from an abortion facility rose from 15% to 40%, and for Hispanic women the share increased from 8.6% to 30.3%.
“This is an inequality and poverty story,” said Caitlin Myers, an economics professor at Middlebury College who researches reproductive policy. Her work includes a study that found thatMyers said that often, those who carry babies to term that they would otherwise have terminated are “the poorest, most vulnerable of an already poor and vulnerable population.”
