Where the Abortion-Rights Fight Is Headed

A bill that would prosecute abortion seekers for felony murder. New bans on abortion starting at fertilization. Measures to amend state constitutions to exclude abortion from the right to privacy. These are just some of the bills Republican lawmakers have introduced in the two weeks since state legislatures reconvened for the first time following the overturning of Roe v. Wade last summer. Add to this mix ongoing legal challenges and a new, divided Congress, and so many new fronts are appearing in the battle over abortion rights that it’s tough to keep track of them all. “Abortion opponents are gonna use every legal mechanism at their disposal to limit care — whether it’s in the legislature, in the courts, or through regulation,” says Elizabeth Nash, who leads the state-issues team at the Guttmacher Institute.
