Wade — the landmark ruling that has protected pregnant people’s right to get an abortion before fetal viability since 1973.

If all 26 states restrict or ban abortion, that will affect more than 36 million women — in addition to all of the other people who can become pregnant — who may lose the right to an abortion in their state.

Five states have abortion bans that were enacted after Roe, 11 states have six-week bans that are not yet in effect due to protections from Roe and one state, Texas, has a six-week ban that’s already in effect.

Without federal protections, pregnant people living in states banning abortion will have to travel hundreds, if not thousands, of miles to get abortion care.

Clinics in states that continue to conduct abortions are preparing to meet an influx of pregnant people traveling out of state for care.

Wade — the landmark ruling that has protected pregnant people’s right to get an abortion before fetal viability.

Twenty-six states are set to quickly ban or restrict abortions, and an estimated 36 million women may lose the right to abortion in their state.
