The Post-Roe Reality: A Look at Abortion in America

A year after the Dobbs v. Jackson decision, Texas has settled into a post-abortion reality, with an uneasy acceptance that the new laws aren't changing anytime soon. The number of monthly abortions in Texas has dropped into the low single digits, and women are facing difficulties in accessing abortion care, including traveling out-of-state, facing million-dollar lawsuits, or having babies they never planned for. Anti-abortion groups are seeking ways to crack down on medication, and a group of anti-abortion doctors and medical associations filed a lawsuit last year seeking to revoke approval of mifepristone, a common abortion-inducing drug.
