In all, legislators in 11 states - Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, and West Virginia - have introduced bills this year to ban nearly all abortions. Even in the traditionally pro-choice state of Massachusetts, Governor Mitt Romney (R) announced this month that he would sign a bill outlawing most abortions if it ever reached his desk.
The current wave of state abortion bans is a serious, direct threat to our most basic, fundamental rights - one that has severe repercussions for all Americans.
