The Impact of Roe v Wade's Overturn on Abortion in America

A year after the US Supreme Court overturned the Roe v Wade ruling, which guaranteed women the right to an abortion up until the point of foetal viability, the lives of millions of women have been impacted and the political landscape has transformed. Four ways the US has changed include millions of women losing the right to an abortion, American women having fewer abortions, women travelling farther to get abortions, and support for abortion increasing. While many Republican-controlled states have restricted access, progressive states run by Democrats have introduced stronger legal protections. Public support for abortion has actually gone up, even in places which have instituted bans.
