The Supreme Court’s decision to allow states to decide whether or not to have abortions on their soil risks pushing pregnant women to resort to illegal and dangerous means.

After the abolition of the right to voluntary termination of pregnancy in some states by the Supreme Court, millions of women are affected. For women in these states, what will be the solution? “The only solution for these women is simply going to be to change states. This means that they will have to go to Los Angeles, New York or even Chicago, Illinois. These progressive states are for the most part located on the coasts of the country, which means that for many women, it will sometimes be necessary to drive for 10 to 15 hours. Or simply to buy a plane ticket”, explains journalist Camille Guttin, live from Washington. Canada offered to help.

“All of this will make women who cannot afford gas or plane tickets a little more precarious. In order to be able to have an abortion near their home in their state, they risk turn to illegal and dangerous means. This will therefore put them in a little more danger. To make a small comparison, know that abortion in the United States is very expensive, between 500 and 1,500 dollars. It will become even more more complicated”she concludes.
