A year after the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization stripped women of nearly 50 years of constitutional protection to make their own health-care decisions, women have faced trauma and near-death experiences and been deprived of medical care. That includes women who never contemplated having an abortion. The Dobbs-aggravated shortage of doctors practicing obstetrics-gynecology, especially in rural areas, leaves millions of women without access to health care.

The problem is red states voted for what happened to Dobbs and then went "ohhhhh, we're gonna get harassed and die, too!? ohhhhh!..."

Even in red states, when access to abortion is left up to vote they choose to keep access. That's why so many states are fighting to keep it off the ballot at all costs.
