abortion access

As states take steps to tighten abortion laws, conversations have been reignited about how to best support families and babies. Many policy experts point to a permanent Child Tax Credit, made available to low- and no-income families, as one way to do that.

Michigan has been an abortion rights battleground since June, when the US Supreme Court issued the Dobbs decision that overturned Roe versus Wade. Proposal 3 on the November ballot is an attempt to enshrine abortion rights in the state constitution.

Indiana Democrats are launching their closing argument for the 2022 election – a focus on women’s rights. The party Monday launched its “Contract With Women” tour.

In a Facebook post, Whole Woman’s Health of South Bend says it is currently taking appointments for October and November and will be expanding its schedule in the near future.

Abortion will remain legal in Indiana through at least the end of the year.

If adopted, it would supersede a 1931 state law that would ban most abortions and punish abortion providers. But if the proposal passes, it would not settle every question regarding abortion rights in Michigan.

Several states’ abortion bans are caught up in the courts due to legal challenges. The ever-changing abortion landscape is a source of confusion while demand for services remains high.

After a judge temporarily blocked Indiana’s near-total abortion ban last week, some clinics that provide abortions have resumed services.

Indiana’s near-total abortion ban has been temporarily halted after Monroe County judge Kelsey Hanlon ruled it likely violates the Indiana Constitution, and that has implications for Michiana residents seeking abortion services.

The patchwork nature of abortion laws across the country has made the procedure harder for pregnant people to get — and for health care providers to give.
