Fall of Roe

If you're a woman, girl, or anyone with a uterus who finds themselves pregnant in Indiana, please know that it is an unsafe state. The Indiana legislature broke speed records in their rush to make abortion illegal or inaccessible.

Kentucky's legislature put its trigger law into motion almost immediately after the Dobbs decision, despite challenges from the courts. While the supreme court will be taking up arguments against this ruling in November, until then Kentucky is unfortunately an unsafe state.

Mississippi is both the poorest state in the union and the most unsafe in the country if you need an abortion. Following the fall of Roe, Mississippi no longer has a clinic anywhere within its borders that provides abortions.

The fall of Roe has led to changes in Florida state law that significantly increase restrictions on abortions, meaning at least 4500 people in the Sunshine State no longer qualify for abortions they need.

Georgia has a long history of hostility toward reproductive freedom, with the state legislature having rejected many opportunities to make the state more egalitarian and improve protections for those with uteruses. Almost as soon as Roe fell, the Georgia legislature made an immediate move to pass a six-week abortion ban, a small political majority making life significantly more difficult for a huge part of their constituency. Furthermore, Georgians seeking abortions are confronted by a 24-hour waiting period and, when it is legal for them to abort, the procedures are not insured and the patient must pay out of pocket.

With anti-choice Governor Brian Kemp up for reelection in November, those registered to vote in Georgia should make their way to the polls and vote him out if we want to even begin to see progress.
