WHAT: On the one-year anniversary of its Supreme Court argument in Gonzales v. Carhart, the Center for Reproductive Rights holds a teleconference to discuss the release of its new What if Roe Fell? report and the results of new national polling conducted by Lake Research Partners.
Recent changes on the Supreme Court produced the first decision to uphold an abortion ban that lacked protections for women's health. With a Court that seems more inclined than ever to revisit Roe v. Wade, What If Roe Fell? provides a state-by-state legal analysis of what could happen if the Court overturned its landmark 1973 decision.
The report looks at the increasing number of states considering abortion bans, examines the impact of a Roe reversal on low-income women, and outlines what can be done to protect women's right to an abortion.
New national research conducted by Lake Research Partners shows that a clear majority of Americans believe abortion rights will continue to be eroded in their lifetime and they do not want abortion policy to be decided at the state level. Rather, they support federal protections for abortion rights.
States considered to be "high risk" for criminalizing abortion in a post-Roe era include: Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Virginia, and Wisconsin.
