What abortion laws look like in the U.S. one year after the fall of Roe v. Wade By Sanya Mansoor Reporter Saturday marks one year since the U.S. Supreme Court overhauled Roe v. Wade. The question of abortion access now falls largely to states. Many have passed restrictive abortion bans, with some kicking in as early as six weeks—even before a person may know that they're pregnant. But it’s not all bad news for pro-choice advocates: Many states have expanded access over the last year. TIME compiled a state-by-state infographic highlighting whether states have expanded or restricted abortion access since the Supreme Court ruling. Some bans have been caught in litigation. Many vary in terms of how early they apply, as well as exceptions related to rape, incest, and saving the mother's life. Some highlights from our findings over the last year: On states expanding access: Many state supreme courts recognized the right to an abortion. Governors and legislatures approved laws and executive orders shielding those seeking and providing abortions within their state from restrictive laws in other states. (An uptick in abortion restrictions has led to those wanting an abortion in restrictive states to cross state lines for the procedure.) On states restricting access: Texas and Idaho passed laws empowering private citizens to sue abortion providers they believe violate the states’ respective bans. On states caught in litigation: Courts in Wyoming, South Carolina, Ohio, Montana, Iowa, and Indiana have blocked abortion bans from being enforced; some of these states still have less stringent restrictions in place.
