"Two weeks have passed since the Supreme Court dropped its decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, two weeks of predictable confusion and anxiety as right-wing states enact increasingly punitive abortion restrictions. The situation was always going to be dire: With Roe v. Wade overturned and federal abortion protections revoked, seven states have successfully activated their pre-Dobbs trigger laws, banning the procedure in almost every case. Many more are fighting legal challenges, creating a tangle of red tape that often leaves both providers and patients in limbo, wondering if, how, and when they can legally end a pregnancy where they live. Criminalizing abortion also threatens treatment for other conditions, including (but not limited to) miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, and even certain forms of arthritis, which may benefit from a drug that can be used in medical termination."
