The Current State of Abortion Laws in the US: Answers and Updates.

One year after the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision, which overturned Roe v. Wade, abortion access in the US has become increasingly restricted. Abortion laws vary widely across states, with some banning the procedure altogether and others allowing it with few restrictions. Medication abortion is the most common form of abortion in the US, but access to it is also being restricted. Abortion is a safe procedure, but denying access to it can have dire consequences. Public opinion on abortion is complex, with most Americans supporting access to legal abortion but also supporting some restrictions. The prevalence of abortion since Dobbs is difficult to track, but there is evidence that abortions done in US clinics and hospitals have declined.
