Although the right to an abortion has been enshrined in U.S. law for almost 50 years, the cost of the procedure has steadily risen and can now hinder women from obtaining care, according to new research from University of California San Francisco.
Abortion could become even more financially out-of-reach for millions of Americans if Roe v. Wade is struck down, which would force many women to travel beyond their home state to receive treatment.
The Supreme Court appears ready to overturn the landmark abortion rights decision, according to a draft opinion first published by Politico. If finalized, those rights would come down to state lawmakers, with 26 states either certain or likely to ban abortion, according to the the Guttmacher Institute, an organization that supports abortion rights.
