National discussions of abortion—of any services that might end a
pregnancy, make contraception available, or provide other means of
regulating one’s capacity to bear children—usually focus on the Supreme
Court. But for many Americans,/Roe/v./Wade/might as well have been
overturned already. Whether RBG or ACB, five conservative justices or
six, many American women live in counties without clinics, or cannot
afford to pay for an abortion, or do not know how to slip under the
limbo bars to get one. Many Americans cannot access basic medical care
no matter what decisions they make, but state-level legislation makes
abortion in particular nearly impossible to procure in much of the
country. Almost four hundred state-level restrictions were proposed in
the first half of 2019 alone. This week in Louisiana, voters amended the
state constitution to make clear that there is no right to abortion or
to abortion funding.
