The article discusses the dual narratives following the Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade. While many lost access to abortion, leading to tragic consequences, there’s a contrasting story of triumph where accessibility to abortion services has improved due to innovative legal and state-level reforms. Experts Carole Joffe and David Cohen explore this surprising upward trend in their book "After Dobbs" and attribute it to changing Democratic strategies and the resolve of advocates and providers. This change has seen states eliminate restrictions and protect providers, spurred by the court's decision.
"When we started interviewing everyone in 2022, we probably both thought it was going to be the opposite story, like, here's how abortion access gets even worse in this country... This caught us by surprise."
"These liberal, pro-choice states started doing things that advocates had been asking them to do for decades. Dobbs motivated them."
