Two Years After Roe's Reversal, States Consider Abortion Restrictions

On the anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision, discussions surrounding abortion rights have intensified following the Supreme Court's 2022 ruling that overturned the landmark case, allowing states to impose their own restrictions. Erika Christensen, who traveled from New York to Colorado for a third-trimester abortion, became an advocate for abortion rights after her experience highlighted the challenges many face in accessing care, especially in states with strict laws. In Indiana, a proposed Senate Bill aims to further restrict access to abortion, including prohibiting medication abortions and imposing new requirements for victims of rape and incest. Meanwhile, pro-life advocates reflect on the challenges ahead, as recent state votes have favored pro-abortion measures, indicating a continuing struggle for anti-abortion supporters. The anniversary serves as a reminder of the evolving landscape of reproductive rights in the U.S., with some states enshrining abortion protections while others push for more restrictive measures.
