Overturning Roe could mean women seeking abortions have to travel hundreds of miles

(CNN)A Supreme Court decision that overturned Roe v. Wade could bring abortion bans to as many as half the states in the country already poised to prohibit the procedure. Such a move would also have knock-on effects on the primarily blue states that would maintain access to abortion. A Roe v. Wade reversal -- and the flood of abortion restrictions such a ruling would usher in -- stands to affect the distance women would have to travel to their nearest clinic, according to a new report released this week by the Guttmacher Institute. The institute, which favors abortion rights used data from the US Census Bureau to estimate the number of women of reproductive age living in each Census block and calculated the driving distance to the closest abortion clinic. Illinois, North Carolina and California are among the states that could see the biggest jump in out-of-state abortion patients, as their clinics would be closest for women whose own states are positioned to quickly ban the procedure, according to Guttmacher's analysis.

In states like Louisiana, Texas and Idaho, women would see the distance they'd have to travel to the nearest clinic increase by tenfold or more, if Roe v. Wade was reversed and abortion bans went into effect in the states most likely to implement them.

Today many parents have to travel 100s of miles to get their children to a cancer center for weekly treatments. I have sympathy for them, but not someone who regrets having unprotected sex.

Instead of being responsible, they'd have to drive a loooong distance! The horror!
These murderers are pathetic.

Boo hoo.

Now it won’t be so easy for women to murder their own flesh and blood.

What a tragedy.

Then use birth control, or, even better, stop being a whore. Take responsibility of your actions.

It seems to me not getting pregnant would be a simpler option.

Though, as a privileged white man that worked for a living, what do I know.
