SiX in the Press: A Tale of Two Americas: The Deepening Crisis of Reproductive Rights for Marginalized Communities
Jennifer Driver of the State Innovation Exchange opened the dialogue, emphasizing that the challenge of abortion access in America is not uniform. The nation is witnessing a “tale of two states” scenario, Driver said, in which some states have preserved or expanded access to abortion, while others have drastically curtailed it. This disparity creates a situation where access to abortion care is heavily dependent on geographic location and socio-economic status—particularly for those without the ability to travel across state lines and other marginalized communities.
