Court decisions in Florida and Arizona this month have dramatically changed the landscape of abortion access in the U.S., limiting access to reproductive health care to pregnant people across the South and Southwest.
In Florida, the state supreme court ruled on April 1 that the state constitution's privacy protections do not guarantee the right to an abortion, allowing a six-week abortion ban to take effect.
The Arizona state supreme court revived an 1864 law banning all abortions except those performed to save a pregnant person's life, dating back to a time when both abortion and childbirth carried a significant risk of death.
