The Graphic Truth: Where can American women now get abortions?
After weeks of speculation, the US Supreme Court has issued a ruling reversing Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 decision that legalized abortion. American women will now face a hodgepodge of abortion laws that grant different rights depending on one’s geographical location.

Indeed, women living in these states will have to travel long distances in many cases to access abortion care. We take a look at some of their closest options.
