'Nothing about this moment is surprising, though knowing what’s coming does nothing to soften the blow,' writes claire_lampen
After nearly 50 years, the Supreme Court officially has discarded Roe v. Wade. Nothing about this moment is surprising, though knowing what’s coming does nothing to soften the blow. Anti-abortion extremists have been driving policy in this direction for years, emboldened by the sympathetic Trump administration and the appointment of increasingly hard-line conservatives to the Supreme Court. And, in May, a leaked draft of the Court’s majority decision in Dobbs v.
Since 1973, Roe’s landmark ruling has barred lawmakers from limiting abortion services before viability, 23 to 24 weeks into a pregnancy, at least. In Dobbs, Mississippi successfully defended a law capping abortion services at 15 weeks of pregnancy, a medically arbitrary deadline. As a result, the Guttmacher Institute predicts that abortion will soon become expressly or effectively illegal across more than half the country.
Texas provides a glimpse into that future: Since a citizen-enforced six-week ban effectively ended abortion services there in September, clinics in neighboring states have stretched their already thin resources to accomodate overflow. In Oklahoma, wait times for an appointment jumped from a couple of days to about four weeks — and that was while clinics there were still open.
