A Post-Roe World Is One Where More People Die

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

62% :Abortion is an essential health care procedure, one that's safe and effective when performed with the surgical expertise or support of a medical professional.
54% :Of course, barriers to abortion not only affect people's physical health but their livelihood and freedom as well.
48% : Contrary to anti-abortion propaganda, legally banning or severely restricting access to abortion doesn't stop people from obtaining them -- it simply drives many to terminate their pregnancy without that help, placing them at greater risk of harm.
41% :Yesterday, Politico broke the news that the U.S. Supreme Court plans to overturn Roe v Wade, the long-enduring legal decision that enshrined a constitutional right to abortion -- news since confirmed by the conservative-leaning Court.
40% : Conversely, when countries ease off these restrictions, maternal deaths and injuries fall as well, as was the case when Nepal legalized abortion in the early 2000s.
39% : The end of Roe will not mean the end of abortion in America.
37% : But 23 states have laws on the book that will ban or severely restrict abortion in the absence of Roe, including 13 with laws that will explicitly trigger the minute that it's gone, according to a recent May report from Guttmacher.
31% : The end of Roe v. Wade will not mean the end of abortion in America, but it will mean more unsafe and life-threatening abortions.
