(NCS) — Following the US Supreme Court’s June 2022 determination in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which eradicated a constitutional proper to abortion nationwide, 19 US states have banned or restricted entry to the process.
States where abortion is proscribed report higher rates of maternal and infant mortality, in addition to greater economic insecurity.
Ten states had reproductive rights on the poll in the November 2024 election. Voters in seven of these states passed measures expanding or protecting abortion access. Proposed protecting measures in Florida, Nebraska and South Dakota didn’t move. Nebraska voters as a substitute authorized cementing the state’s present 12-week abortion ban in the state structure.
NCS is monitoring these legal challenges as they make their method by the courts. Here’s where abortion entry presently stands in the United States.
