Why overturning Roe v. Wade only made America's abortion rate rise

Salon  

Republican politicians owe the pro-choice community a thank you card for saving the right from the worst impacts of their policies. After the Supreme Court overturned nearly five decades of abortion rights in the infamous Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health case, the fallout has been terrible: women nearly bleeding to death in hospital parking lots, women having to be airlifted to safer states for abortions, and, unfortunately, a few highly publicized deaths because abortion bans prevented timely care. Cohen: There's almost no criminal risk for people who are providing care physically located in a state where abortion is legal and someone travels to them. They understand the risk, but they think it's important to take this risk because there are so many people who need care in the states where abortion is banned. As much as the anti-abortion movement was saying this is going to end abortion, everyone in the abortion rights and justice movement feared Dobbs would dramatically cut back on the number of people getting abortions.
