"2024 Election: Abortion Rights Measures Gain Momentum in Key States"

Abortion access in the U.S. has been in flux since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, with about half of states imposing restrictions. Abortion bans are impacting healthcare systems and driving doctors out of states, while the number of abortions nationwide is increasing, partly due to telehealth services. Some states are making efforts to ease abortion access, while others are passing "shield laws" to protect providers. Two major abortion-related cases are pending before the Supreme Court, with decisions expected just before the 2024 election, ensuring that abortion will be a prominent issue in the upcoming election.
