In 1973, Roe v. Wade granted a nationwide right to abortion and helped create a path to access. But, abortion access has rarely been a straight line — it’s full of twists, turns, and roadblocks. And these barriers have only gotten more complicated since the US Supreme Court gave states the power to ban abortion in 2022’s Dobbs ruling. While 13 states completely outlawed abortion, with many additional states dismantling access in other ways……other states have moved to strengthen their protections, creating a complicated patchwork of laws across the country. To illustrate how difficult it is to get abortion care, we built a maze for each state where the difficulty is calculated by the state’s abortion policies. [The Pudding]
