(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.

People travel across jurisdictional boundaries in pursuit of many different choices.
Some people have to travel hundreds of miles in order to purchase firearms and exercise their Second Amendment rights.
A USSC decision or federal legislation/constitutional amendment declaring life begins at conception would render pre Roe laws moot.
Absolutely, once the embryo has it’s own DNA it’s
not a part of the mother to dispose as she wishes.
I’m just surprise there are not more legal actions
of the part of fathers, when a woman aborts a fetus
that contains the father’s DNA.
As it stands now a woman can destroy the off spring
of a male at her whim but carry it to term and suddenly
the male is responsible for it.
Good. It shouldn’t be so easy anyway.
And???
“Don’t want one? Don’t make one.”

Hell is closer than that first step they take on the road to killing their baby.
or they could just move to a blue state which most red states would prefer they do.
It's like "recognizing" a person's in slavery only after he's been a slave for 5 years. Before that, they don't "recognize" it as slavery. Yeah huh.
Another good reason for secession
Wasn’t the entire thing about medical privacy in the beginning? Weird how that doesn’t apply to the vaxx issue.
And CNN that is what it is going back to because it violates the 10th Amendment. Regulation, Constitutionally belongs to the states.
Yup. Almost every conservative who made it to SCOTUS since before Bork was Borked, they have been stealth liberals.
I think Clarence Thomas saw the ugliness and stuck to his conservatism. Almost all others have bent their knee to the DC cocktail circuit.
I know I would have to. For instance, here in California, it’s illegal to own a Taurus Judge or S&W Governor.
Horny women have no trouble traveling hundreds or thousands of miles for sex. But somehow they can’t travel for an abortion? I don’t think so.
they won’t have to travel even one mile if they are responsible to not take chance to get pregnant unwontedly in the first place. (not talking about rape or such).
Obviously it wasn’t “about” privacy. It was about killing an inconvenient result of having sex while they still could.
“My body my choice.” They never stop. I’m at the point that if the libs want to exterminate their own, I don’t care.
6 weeks matches the Texas abortion law being challenged. SCOTUS rarely rules outside the bounds of the case set before them.
