It's been 3 years since Roe v. Wade was overturned. While medical experts warned that restricting access to essential healthcare would have dire impacts, the data from the last 3 years is clear—abortion is critical for protecting the lives of birthing people and infants. Research indicates that women in states with abortion bans are nearly 2x as likely to die during pregnancy, childbirth, or soon after giving birth compared to those in states where abortion is legal and accessible, and Black individuals are disproportionately impacted. It also suggests that infant mortality rates are also higher in states with abortion bans. 13 states currently have a total abortion ban and 28 have bans based on gestational duration.
