Two years after the Supreme Court ended federal protections for abortion care, some Democratic-led states have moved to combat the restrictive laws on the procedure that have been enacted in Republican-led states.
The efforts from Democratic-led states include shield laws that prohibit patients and providers from facing legal consequences for abortion procedures.
According to the Guttmacher Institute, a research group which supports reproductive rights, 14 states now have near-total abortion bans, forcing many women to travel out-of-state for the procedure.
