Wade <\/i>is overturned, according to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2021\/07\/06\/abortion-rights-supreme-court-states-restrictions-497821\"><span class=\"s1\">report<\/span><\/a> by Politico.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The Supreme Court recently agreed to hear a case out of Mississippi where abortions are banned after 15 weeks, which abortion proponents see as a threat to precedent established by <i>Roe v. Wade, <\/i>which has made pro-choice and pro-life activists ready for a potential shift in legal structure.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">As The Washington Post&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/courts_law\/supreme-court-abortion-roe-v-wade\/2021\/05\/17\/cdaf1dd6-b708-11eb-a6b1-81296da0339b_story.html\"><span class=\"s1\">reported<\/span><\/a>, \u201cIn accepting the [Mississippi] case for next term, the court said it would examine whether \u2018all pre-viability prohibitions on elective abortions are unconstitutional.\u2019 That has been a key component of the court\u2019s jurisprudence, and the announcement sounded ominous to abortion rights advocates.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Abortion activists were busy even before the upcoming case was widely discussed. They reportedly used the situation of the coronavirus pandemic to enlist more people to their efforts, including \u201crecruiting new members and online providers, adding new privacy features that could shield them from law enforcement and organizing,\u201d per Politico.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cEven though our work is legal and we\u2019re not doing anything wrong, we operate under the assumption what we do could become illegal at any time,\u201d a member of one group, the Mountain Access Brigade, told Politico regarding their recent work on privacy-supporting technology.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cThe member spoke under condition of anonymity to discuss confidential plans. The underground community of support groups has been adding services to advise women about how to use abortion pills or how to arrange rides for women interested in getting an abortion in-person,\u201d the outlet added.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Robin Marty, an activist with the Yellowhammer Fund, another activist group, told Politico that the coronavirus pandemic gave pro-abortion activists \u201ca real view of what a South without access would look like.\u201d She is the author of \u201cHandbook for Post-Roe America,\u201d which gives people information on \u201chow to acquire financial support, how to use existing networks and create new ones, and how to, when required, work outside existing legal systems,\u201d per the book\u2019s online Penguin Random House <a href=\"https:\/\/www.penguinrandomhouse.com\/books\/608182\/handbook-for-a-post-roe-america-by-robin-marty\/\"><span class=\"s1\">description<\/span><\/a>.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Many women have turned to online resources in order to get abortions, which some argue have the potential to be unsafe due to the lack of interaction with a doctor.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">As Politico reported:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"14.678362573099\">\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/abortion\/\"><i>\/r\/abortion<\/i><\/a><\/span><i>, a Reddit forum devoted to providing advice about all types of abortion care, gained thousands of readers per month through December of last year, a moderator for the forum said, as readers dealing with canceled appointments tried to find new means of abortion \u2014 including online pharmacies that could ship pills from abroad. That trend will continue, the moderator predicted, if the courts allow further restrictions, up to and including the bans that would result if&nbsp;Roe v. Wade&nbsp;were overturned.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\">Politico further noted:<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"11\">\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>There are also \u201cabortion doula\u201d groups, like Mountain Access Brigade, that offer connective services \u2014 like rides to clinics or online options \u2014 for patients. They\u2019re closely related to a type of activism that Yellowhammer Fund\u2019s Marty calls \u201caunties\u201d \u2014 online gatherings of volunteers who group together to support patients seeking abortions, from giving rides to escorting patients into clinics.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\">The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) under President Joe Biden recently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verywellhealth.com\/fda-abortion-pills-mail-restrictions-5179627\"><span class=\"s1\">allowed<\/span><\/a> the abortion pill to be shipped through the mail during the pandemic, ensuring that women can forego interaction with a doctor to proceed with an abortion that could cause serious complications if not monitored. Some states still have restrictions on medication abortion, however, as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verywellhealth.com\/fda-abortion-pills-mail-restrictions-5179627\"><span class=\"s1\">reported<\/span><\/a> by Very Well Health and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.guttmacher.org\/state-policy\/explore\/medication-abortion\">Guttmacher Institute<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">As pro-life activists have pointed out, the trend in at-home abortions could lead to serious health problems for women who desire to end an unplanned pregnancy. As the country gets ready to see a potential major shift in abortion policy for certain states, pro-life groups might also begin shifting their messaging in order to provide help to men and women who find themselves struggling with the difficult decisions regarding an unplanned pregnancy.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
