Overturning Roe could mean women seeking abortions have to travel hundreds of miles
CNN ^ | October 30, 2021 | Tierney Sneed and Priya Krishnakumar, CNN

(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.

IMO, this story indicates that CNN believes Roe and Casey will be overruled by Dobbs. If so, CNN in a months will start posting angrier and more hyperbolic stories regarding what will happen to women post-Roe (although CNN may refer to them as "birthing persons").

Whatever happened to the notion that aborted babies must have a funeral, paid for by the parent?

"Overturning Roe could mean women seeking abortions to kill their babies have to travel hundreds of miles."

Anything to cause hysteria from CNN (CrapNewsNow). Roe won’t be overturned. Oops, hysteria may have been the wrong PC word to use. Forgive me feminists or just f#ck off.

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

It just shows that the name 'planned parenthood' is an oxymoron with their abortion policy. Their name screams birth control. This organization has failed miserably in the family planning field, just the family culling seems to be their forte. Considering the taxpayer funds they have sucked down over the years providing all the free birth control. Any actual company with their track record in failure would have been out of business years ago.

This 1965 Life Magazine cover showed the first ever photographs of a living baby at 18 weeks in utero.

The U.S. Supreme Court handed their decision in Roe vs Wade, 410 US 113 in 1973.

Ponder that for bit...8 years after the world had seen the astounding photographic proof of a human life and yet those men in black robes decided that the science was not settled.

Blue states scrambled to pass laws to protect the abortion industry in case the SC overturns Roe.

It would be a shame if the SC recognized human life starting at six weeks, thus invalidating these state abortion laws (wink wink).

I wonder how far it is to Hell.

It’s as close as the nearest Planned Parenthood Clinic.

Birth control is what happens BEFORE conception.

Always an opinion based upon the wrong premise. The reason abortions were available in some states and not others is only a relative observation if the Supremes allow a return to status quo from 1960’s.

The real threat to the abortion industry (it’s always been about $$) is if the Supremes take up a case based upon when life begins (the heartbeat laws come close to forcing the issue).

A USSC decision or federal legislation/constitutional amendment declaring life begins at conception would render pre Roe laws moot.

This is the only decision not brought before the USSC. A Godly nation may not stand before a Holy God and deny life begins at conception. Only an ungodly nation may do so.

Our nation stands at the precipice and will repent and turn to God or step off the edge in worship of the creation in lieu of the Creator. Both choices will lead to possibly violent change with one ending in peace while the other ends in chaos. Choose wisely.....

Or they could just move to states that share their liberal values, you know, the way states are supposed to be? Call it “The Great Cleansing”

What’s the deal here? They want abortion clinics to be as common as Starbucks or McDonald’s ? It’s somehow a tragedy if an abortion clinic isn’t found on every street corner?
