Being denied a wanted abortion may result in worse economic outcomes, put people at risk of staying in contact with an abusive partner, and be connected with serious health problems.
As the conservative-majority U.S. Supreme Court allowed Texas’s near-complete abortion ban to proceed, abortion-rights advocates and Democratic lawmakers warned of who would bear the brunt of what is now the country’s most restrictive abortion law: people of color, people with low incomes and other marginalized groups.
“This is the most significant accomplishment for the pro-life movement in Texas since Roe v. Wade,” Texas Right to Life legislative director John Seago told the Associated Press. Susan B. Anthony List president Marjorie Dannenfelser said the Supreme Court ruling “allows Texas to protect unborn babies with beating hearts while litigation continues.”
Two 2020 analyses of earlier Texas abortion restrictions conducted by researchers from the same organization found that lower-income people, Latino residents and people who lived far away from abortion clinics were disproportionately impacted. “It is contraception [access], it is access to care in and of itself, it is the way that racism is embedded into every system in this country — including our healthcare system — that results in inequitable health outcomes for our communities,” Perritt said.
Immigrants, particularly those who are undocumented, will face disproportionate impact from the law, advocates add.
