Well supportedReported by 4 independent outlets

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The reversal of Roe v. Wade ended the constitutional right to abortion, leading to varied state regulations. This regulatory environment, combined with the use of the internet and mail, has increased access to abortion services even in states with restrictions.
