At least 66 clinics in 15 U.S. states have ended abortion care post-Dobbs, according to Guttmacher, and the 'already precarious abortion access landscape is likely to continue to deteriorate.'
In Ohio and Indiana, courts have blocked the states' respective six-week and near-total abortion bans. Near-total bans remain blocked in Utah and Wyoming. And state courts in South Carolina and Iowa have not allowed six-week bans to take effect.Meanwhile, lawmakers in other states may push to enact more punitive restrictions.
The institute researchers found that of the 66 clinics identified where abortion is no longer offered, 40 still provide other healthcare services while 26 have fully shut down. "Individuals who can no longer obtain an abortion from a clinic in these states are now forced to travel to another state for abortion care , self-manage their abortion, or continue their pregnancy ," the analysis states.
