[Winehole23]

Mississippi: Mississippi Reproductive Freedom Fund, Access Reproductive Care-Southeast
Mississippi has just one abortion clinic left, and 91 percent of women in the state live in counties with no provider. The state has a pre-Roe ban, a post-Roe trigger ban, and a six-week abortion ban that’s currently blocked from taking effect.

Texas: Fund Texas Choice, West Fund, Texas Equal Access Fund, Stigma Relief Fund, Clinic Access Support Network, Lilith Fund, SYS (Support your Sistah), The Bridge Collective, Jane’s Due Process, Buckle Bunnies Fund
In 2021, Texas enacted a trigger ban, intended to prohibit abortion in almost all situations, and a six-week ban which allows private individuals to sue abortion providers or helpers in Texas courts.

West Virginia: Women’s Health Center of West Virginia Choice Fund, Holler Health Justice
West Virginia has just one abortion clinic, and 90 percent of women in the state live in counties with no provider. West Virginia never removed its pre-Roe ban from the books, but in 2018, passed an amendment to the state cons ution barring protection for abortion rights.

Kentucky: Kentucky Health Justice Network, A Fund, Inc.
The Kentucky legislature effectively ended abortion services throughout the state in April, but already, 82 percent of women in the state lived in counties with no provider. In 2019, it enacted a trigger ban that would prohibit abortion if Roe were overturned.

Missouri: Missouri Abortion Fund
Missouri has just one abortion provider, and 78 percent of Missouri women live in counties with no abortion clinic. Missouri has a trigger ban intended to prohibit all abortion as well as an eight-week abortion ban that’s currently blocked from taking effect.

Arkansas: Arkansas Abortion Support Network
77 percent of Arkansas women live in counties with no abortion clinic. Arkansas passed a trigger ban intended to prohibit abortion in 2019.

South Dakota: South Dakota Access for Every Woman
South Dakota has one open abortion provider, and 76 percent of South Dakota women live in counties with no abortion clinic. The state enacted a near-total trigger ban in 2005, which would go into effect as soon as states are allowed to ban abortion.

Louisiana: New Orleans Abortion Fund
72 percent of women live in counties with no access to an abortion provider. Among other restrictions, Louisiana has a trigger law banning abortion after Roe is reversed “in whole or in part.”

North Dakota: North Dakota Women in Need Abortion Access Fund
North Dakota has one open abortion provider, and 72 percent of North Dakota women live in counties with no abortion clinic. It enacted a near-total trigger ban in 2007, which would take effect after the legislature approves a recommendation from the state attorney general clearing the maneuver as cons utional.

Wisconsin: Women’s Medical Fund
70 percent of Wisconsin women live in counties with no abortion clinic. Wisconsin has an unenforced pre-Roe ban.

Indiana: All-Options Hoosier Abortion Fund
70 percent of Indiana women live in counties with no abortion clinic. Indiana has numerous restrictions that make abortion inaccessible and, per Guttmacher, “[pave] the way for a comprehensive ban.”

Idaho: Northwest Abortion Access Fund
67 percent of Idaho women live in counties with no abortion clinic. Idaho enacted a trigger ban in 2019 that would take effect 30 days after the Supreme Court overturns Roe.

Utah: Utah Abortion Fund
63 percent of Utah women live in counties with no abortion clinic. The state enacted a trigger ban in 2020, which would outlaw most abortions after the legislative general counsel certifies that a court ruling allows it to do so.

Alabama: Yellowhammer Fund, Access Reproductive Care-Southeast
59 percent of Alabama women live in counties with no access to an abortion provider. In 2019, Alabama enacted a total ban on abortion — currently blocked from taking effect — that would criminalize providing abortion care.

Georgia: Access Reproductive Care-Southeast
55 percent of Georgia women live in counties with no abortion clinic. Georgia enacted a six-week abortion ban that, once it becomes enforceable, would effectively prohibit all abortion.

Ohio: Preterm Access Fund, Women Have Options - Ohio
55 percent of Ohio women live in counties with no abortion clinic. In 2019, Ohio enacted a six-week ban on abortion that’s currently blocked from taking effect, but wouldn’t be if Roe fell.

Oklahoma: Roe Fund
53 percent of Oklahoma women live in counties with no abortion clinic. Oklahoma has two pre-Roe abortion bans on the books, and in April, passed a near-total ban that criminalizes abortion. It is slated to take effect in August, provided the Supreme Court overturns Roe.

Nebraska: Abortion Access Fund - Bellevue, NE
40 percent of Nebraska women live in counties with no abortion clinic. Nebraska has a ban on abortions after 20 weeks. The Guttmacher Ins ute deems it “likely to ban abortion as soon as possible without federal protections in place.”

Michigan: Fountain Street Church Choice Fund, Reclaim MI WIN Fund
35 percent of Michigan women live in counties with no abortion clinic. Michigan has a pre-Roe abortion ban still in place. The current governor supports abortion rights but access in the state is incredibly restricted.

Arizona: Abortion Fund of Arizona, Tuscon Abortion Support Collective
18 percent of women live in counties with no access to an abortion provider. Arizona has a pre-Roe abortion ban, as well as severe restrictions — including a 15-week ban signed into law in March — already in place.

Wyoming: Chelsea’s Fund
96 percent of Wyoming women live in counties with no abortion clinic. In March, Wyoming passed a trigger ban that would outlaw abortion five days after the Supreme Court overturns Roe.

Tennessee: Abortion Care Tennessee, Access Reproductive Care-Southeast
Not only does Tennessee’s cons ution bar protection for abortion rights, but it also has a trigger law allowing the state to ban the procedure in most cases 30 days after the Supreme Court overrules Roe “in whole or in part.”

South Carolina: Carolina Abortion Fund, Access Reproductive Care-Southeast
In 2021, South Carolina’s governor signed a six-week ban into effect, which was subsequently blocked by the courts. In Roe’s absence, the law would make most abortions illegal throughout the state.

Iowa: Iowa Abortion Access Fund
Iowa has passed legislation banning abortion as early as six weeks, with only a few narrow exceptions. A court struck down that law after the state Supreme Court issued a ruling protecting abortion rights in 2018, but Republican lawmakers are working to advance an amendment saying the state cons ution does not allow those protections.

Florida: Florida Access Network, Access Reproductive Care-Southeast
In 2022, Florida governor Ron DeSantis signed a bill into law banning abortion after 15 weeks, which does not make exceptions for cases of incest, rape, or human trafficking.

Montana: Susan Wickland Fund
Though Montana’s highest court recognized the right to “procreative autonomy” in its cons ution, the state’s legislature still enacted abortion restrictions in 2021, though they are temporarily enjoined under the law.


Not protected (states in which abortion will remain without legal protection):

Virginia: Richmond Reproductive Freedom Project, Blue Ridge Abortion Fund, DC Abortion Fund – VA, Stigma Relief Fund – VA
80 percent of Virginia women live in counties with no abortion clinic. Then-Governor Ralph Northam eased abortion restrictions in 2020, but it remains uncodified in the state cons ution. The current governor, Glenn Youngkin, identifies as “pro-life” and seems to support further restrictions.

Pennsylvania: Women’s Medical Fund, Western Pennsylvania Fund for Choice
48 percent of Pennsylvania women live in counties with no abortion clinic. Abortion access is extremely restricted. The state does not have a trigger ban but abortion would be without legal protection if Roe were overturned, leaving patients and providers vulnerable to criminalization.

New Mexico: New Mexico Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice, West Fund NM, Mariposa Fund, Indigenous Women Rising
In early 2021, the governor signed a law overturning the state’s unenforced pre-Roe ban. Nonetheless, the cons ution lacks explicit protections, even as it accepts clinic overflow from more hostile states like Texas.

New Hampshire: Reproductive Freedom Fund of New Hampshire
30 percent of New Hampshire women live in counties with no abortion clinic.New Hampshire outlaws a safe second-trimester abortion procedure with no exception to protect a woman’s health.

Kansas: Kansas Abortion Fund
In 2019, the Kansas Supreme Court ruled that the state cons ution protects abortion rights — but this August, voters will weigh in on an amendment directly challenging that decision. If the amendment passes without Roe as a backdrop, a Republican supermajority will have the opportunity to pursue restrictions on par with Kansas’s conservative neighbors’.

[Winehole23]

A heavily redacted police report obtained by Pawprints confirms that Susan Collins, the senior Senator from Maine, is the complainant who summoned law enforcement to inspect a message written in chalk on the sidewalk outside her home.

[Winehole23]

But by all means, let's be civil to people who want women to die from ectopic pregnancies.

[Spurminator]

I keep asking what would be more effective for people to do and you keep ducking.

Bull . I gave you a list. Meanwhile you still have yet to show how protesting in a private neighborhood has any of your desired effects (besides making you feel better through righteous anger.)

I think people standing up publicly in large numbers for what they believe in encourages others and influences politicians -- sometimes for better, sometimes for worse. I don't think it's possible to say in advance what will or won't work.

I've already said several times that I support public demonstrations. We're talking about a very specific type.

Do you or do you not believe a Supreme Court justice can be coerced into a different decision by people rallying outside his house?

(Sometimes it's important to stand up for what's right even if it's not politically effective, or even counterproductive in the short term. Not sure why effectiveness should always be decisive. Morals and commitment should count for something.)

Cool, why not just throw bricks through his window then? It's just a window, and it's nothing compared to the loss of bodily autonomy. Who cares if Republicans use it to brand the pro-choice movement as terrorists and the cause loses public sympathy and support? It's all about our feelings, winning.

Apart from a merely intuitive gain in good will and voter registration, pretty weak sauce, tbh

Meanwhile you still have yet to show how protesting in a private neighborhood has any of your desired effects (besides making you feel better through righteous anger.)

Public manifestation against public officials is democracy. Is it messy? Sure. Ineffective? Often. But it is a very basic form of accountability. For better and for worse it's feedback politicians and society needs. I never claimed it was effective and to be honest, I don't think it's very important whether concrete gains result from it.

Per contra, whether or not it is legally tolerated is a bright line test of whether liberty exists

I've already said several times that I support public demonstrations. We're talking about a very specific type.

Do you or do you not believe a Supreme Court justice can be coerced into a different decision by people rallying outside his house?

No, do you think that's what people are trying to do?

Nothing remotely like that has happened. You're losing it over tealight vigils.

[Winehole23]

God forbid judges who deprive people of rights should fear facing the public afterwards. That would be a real tragedy.

How much did you contribute?

[daboom1]

Mob rule replacing the rule of law seems far more tragic. Your indifference might be the scariest part.

[DMC]

How much did you contribute?

why are you getting personal?

[Trill Clinton]

will republicans finally stop trying to cut SNAP, WIC and Medicaid, etc since these women will need the extra help to care for a child they didn't want?

[DMC]

Your real fear should be mob rules over law. The loudest mob gets their way, the mob most willing to inflict the most suffering upon the judges. Almost sounds like terrorism.

[DMC]

will republicans finally stop trying to cut SNAP, WIC and Medicaid, etc since these women will need the extra help to care for a child they didn't want?

Whatever happened to birth control? Where are the fathers?

[Trill Clinton]

Did a ghost quote me? I dont see tbh.

[Winehole23]

Reproductive health resources, like what outside of abortions?

Contraception, emergency contraception, treatment for miscarriage and other pregnancy related medical conditions.

[SnakeBoy]

I don't think the Republicans will want to take care of muh baby mommas

[Dirks_Finale]

All the freebies will be there like always, regardless of the women's lack of personal responsibility...

[SpursforSix]

How much did you contribute?

I contributed by spooging on your mom's tummy.

[SpursforSix]

All the freebies will be there like always, regardless of the women's lack of personal responsibility...

So in general, I think it is a woman's right to choose to some point in pregnancy.

But I was listening to NPR and they were making the "right to choice" case.
The main guest was a woman who gave birth to seven kids because she couldn't afford and/or have access to an abortion.

I get making a mistake. Even a couple. But seven times? People need to be more responsible. And I get that this falls mostly on the woman to insist on that.

I'll say they didn't get into each separate child. It's possible she was raped seven times. Which is tragic.
On the other side, they never asked her if she regretted any of the children.

DMC knows nothing about women

And tells men to bend over to show dominance or whatever that was he said

[boutons_deux]

Contraception, emergency contraception, treatment for miscarriage and other pregnancy related medical conditions.

birth is much more dangerous, (esp for non-white, poor women who die a 3x the rate of white women), than abortion.

Overall, USA is perennial League Champion in the league of industrial countries for highest perinatal death rate of babies and women). For-profit Capitalist health care is racist.

About 25% of pregnancies end in miscarriage, which means the upcoming misogynist Vagina Police will treat/grill devastated, miscarrying women as perpetrators of abortion crime until proven otherwise.
