SiX in the Press: Roe v. Wade by the numbers: What’s changed
“In states where abortion was banned there were about 115,000 fewer abortions in the year following Dobbs,” said Jennifer Driver, Senior Director of Reproductive Rights for State Innovation Exchange.
It’s the numbers and the stories behind them that motivate abortion rights advocates like Driver.
“The number of people who come from the South who have to come to D.C. or states that provide abortion care, and the waiting time that they have just because there’s an influx amount of people seeking abortion care — often those are people who have the resources and the means, and so we don’t actually know from folks who didn’t have the same resources to leave their states,” she explained.
