Wade <\/a>on Friday, several <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/amp\/news\/2022\/06\/24\/abortion-laws-by-state-roe-v-wade-00037695\">states<\/a> will move to restrict or ban abortion entirely while others have already taken measures \u2014 and will continue to further instill laws \u2014 that will maintain abortion availability in the states.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">On Friday, the Supreme Court <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/united-states-supreme-court-overturns-roe-v-wade-leaves-abortion-restrictions-to-states\">voted<\/a>\u00a06-3 in\u00a0<em>Dobbs v. Jackson Women\u2019s Health Organization, <\/em>which has the effect of overturning\u00a0Roe v. Wade\u00a0and Planned Parenthood v. Casey. Justice Samuel Alito wrote in the majority opinion, \u201cRoe\u00a0was egregiously wrong from the start,\u201d adding, \u201cIt is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people\u2019s elected representatives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">As of last month, Alaska, Oregon, Colorado, New Mexico, New Jersey, Vermont, and Washington, D.C., had no <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/2022\/05\/14\/abortion-state-laws-bans-roe-supreme-court\">limits<\/a> on abortion. However, several states, including California and Washington, allow abortion until viability but provide exceptions to the latter standard to protect the life or health of the person seeking an abortion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">After the ruling was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.ca.gov\/2022\/06\/24\/west-coast-states-launch-new-multi-state-commitment-to-reproductive-freedom-standing-united-on-protecting-abortion-access\/\">announced<\/a> on Friday, the governors of Oregon, California, and Washington \u201cissued a Multi-State Commitment to defend access to reproductive health care,\u201d including abortion and birth control, and \u201ccommitted to protecting patients and doctors against efforts by other states to export their abortion bans to our states.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The governors of the three states released a video describing how the West Coast will remain an area in which women will be able to get an abortion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) said the Supreme Court \u201cwant[s] to strip women of their liberty and let Republican states replace it with mandated birth,\u201d saying that the justices want to go back to a time period \u201cwhen women were not treated as equal citizens under the law.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Governor Kate Brown (D-OR) said, \u201cFor all the Americans today feeling scared, angry and disappointed \u2014 for everyone who needs an abortion and does not know where they can access safe reproductive health care \u2014 please know you are not alone, and the fight is not over.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Governor Jay Inslee (D-WA) added that over half of the population in the U.S. \u201cnow lacks safe access to a medical procedure that only a patient and their doctor can and should make for themselves. Instead, law enforcement, vigilantes and judicial systems can force patients to bear the burdens of forced pregnancy and birth.\u201d Inslee added that Washington will keep committing to \u201cprotecting the ability and right of every patient who comes to our state in need of abortion care.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The governors laid out the ways that each of them has expanded abortion, such as Newsom proposing a $125 million Reproductive Health Package to, in part, prepare for women coming into the state from areas that restrict abortion. California Democrats also recently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/california-dems-to-introduce-bill-enshrining-abortion-contraception-rights-into-state-constitution\">introduced<\/a> legislation to enshrine abortion and contraception rights into the state\u2019s constitution. Newsom also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/california-moves-radical-on-abortion\">signed<\/a> a measure that eliminated out-of-pocket costs for abortions, making abortion essentially free for most people with insurance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In 2017, Oregon codified abortion into state law when Brown signed the Reproductive Health Equity Act, which also broadened so-called reproductive health care for all citizens of Oregon.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Earlier this year, Inslee <a href=\"https:\/\/www.king5.com\/article\/news\/politics\/state-politics\/washington-state-abortion-law-jay-inslee\/281-a2a3e9b9-6c21-4a1e-9c92-f5be7676cbfb\">signed<\/a> a bill that would not allow lawsuits to be brought against those who try to get an abortion or those who provide them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">New Jersey is another state that could act as a \u201csafe haven\u201d where women will get abortions from other states in which the procedure is banned or restricted. Last year, the state altered its rule for who is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.northjersey.com\/story\/news\/health\/2022\/06\/24\/supreme-court-abortion-new-jersey-legal-roe-v-wade-dobbs\/7683890001\/\">allowed<\/a> to perform abortions, allowing some licensed medical workers other than doctors to do so. Governor Phil Murphy (D) has proposed even more access, including forcing insurance companies to pay for abortions with no out-of-pocket costs for the woman.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The piece of draft <a href=\"https:\/\/www.njleg.state.nj.us\/bill-search\/2022\/A4350\">legislation<\/a> would also prohibit prosecutors in the state from working with investigations across states or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.northjersey.com\/story\/news\/health\/2022\/06\/24\/supreme-court-abortion-new-jersey-legal-roe-v-wade-dobbs\/7683890001\/\">extradition<\/a> attempts of New Jersey abortion doctors or people who go to them. It would provide $20 million \u201cwith $15 million for an abortion care clinical training programs and $5 million for security guards and security equipment to protect abortion facilities from attacks,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nj.com\/politics\/2022\/06\/murphy-sends-nj-lawmakers-bill-to-expand-access-to-abortion-but-its-unlikely-to-pass-sources-say.html\">according<\/a> to NJ.com. This draft legislation has so far not gained much traction in the state legislature in New Jersey.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cWe\u2019re never going to be a state that looks like Texas or Georgia or other states \u2014 Oklahoma \u2014 that are going in the direction of taking rights away from people,\u201d Murphy reportedly said in a recent NPR interview. \u201cWe are going to expand rights.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">New York Governor Kathy Hochul (D) <a href=\"https:\/\/gothamist.com\/news\/supreme-court-roe-v-wade-abortion-new-york-new-jersey-explainer\">told<\/a> New Yorkers Friday that \u201can abortion remains safe, accessible and legal in New York,\u201d adding, \u201cOur state will always be a safe harbor for those seeking access to abortion care.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In Michigan, there is a law from almost a hundred years ago that would ban abortion in the state if Roe was overturned, but Governor Gretchen Whitmer (D) has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/michigan-supreme-court-poses-questions-to-whitmer-in-abortion-lawsuit-looks-into-taking-up-case\">challenged<\/a> the law, along with another lawsuit, to get rid of the potential<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the Supreme Court overturned Roe v.
