"The impact of has been devastating," Klein said. "More than 27 million women of reproductive age in the United States now live in one of 21 states with an abortion ban in effect. That's one in three women of reproductive age. Doctors in these states face felony charges for providing essential medical care."
Klein's comments underscore the harsh reality facing many Americans. The decision did not merely overturn a legal precedent; it unleashed a torrent of restrictive laws that have left millions without access to safe and legal abortions."
"We've seen horrifying stories of women being denied essential medical care, forced to delay treatment, and traveling hundreds of miles for services," Klein said.
"Republican officials are fighting to enforce archaic abortion bans and continue to pass extreme measures at both state and federal levels," Klein noted. "They've even voted against contraception and in vitro fertilization, and they're eyeing the Comstock Act to prosecute providers of medication abortions by mail."
