"The supreme court overturned Roe v Wade in 2022's Dobbs decision, fulfilling a decades-long project of the American right and making real a nightmare for women's health and equality."
"Women began giving birth to babies they did not want, and dropping out of school and work to care for them, wasting their talents and abandoning their dreams."
"The new abortion bans are written in such draconian and expansive language that there are often no exceptions for rape or incest and only narrow, inscrutable legal permission for the life of the mother."
"Just four years after Dobbs, abortion has receded from the headlines and from the attention of many American voters, despite some successful voter referendums."
The 2022 Dobbs decision overturned Roe v. Wade, significantly affecting women's health and equality.

New bans often lack exceptions for rape or incest, resulting in tragic outcomes for women. Despite some successful voter referendums protecting abortion rights, the issue has faded from public attention, leaving many women without control over their reproductive choices.
