A year after the Supreme Court struck down Roe vs. Wade, more than a quarter of U.S. women of reproductive age live in a state where the procedure is banned, severely limited or unavailable. JennyJarvie reports:

In the 1950s and 1960s, the LAPD’s abortion squad hunted down women getting the procedure and the people performing them.

Since Dobbs, Dreith said, the hotline fields questions they never heard before: “Where do I get pills online? How do I self-manage my abortion?” Meanwhile, conservative lawmakers in states including Arkansas, Florida and Wyoming have passed laws to restrict medication abortion.Kansas, the first state to vote on abortion rights

In November, voters in Michigan, which had never repealed its pre-Roe abortion ban, approved a state constitutional amendment that guaranteed the right to abortion. In April, Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer repealed the 1931 abortion ban.In Florida, a coalition of reproductive rights and grassroots groups launched a campaign last month to amend Florida’s constitution to “limit government interference with abortion” before a fetus is considered viable.

For Rachel Carmona, executive director of the Women’s March, the outcome of Dobbs is still “very unclear” to many women, including her, an activist with a master’s degree in public policy.
