Women in three states are challenging strict abortion laws that went into effect after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade last year.
“It is clear that in filing that lawsuit in Texas we had hit the tip of a very large iceberg,” said Nancy Northup, president and CEO of the Center for Reproductive Rights.
The legal challenges filed Tuesday comprise deeply personal testimonies from women who were denied abortion services and physicians who were terrified of violating the states’ abortion bans. Blackmon said she would have preferred to have an abortion, but could not afford to travel out of state. She eventually delivered a stillborn baby, she told reporters Tuesday. She said her depression and anxiety worsened knowing that she was going to lose a second child the same year she lost the first.
