The Fight for Abortion Rights
Reproductive Rights Under Fire: From the defunding of reproductive and preventative health care to a trigger law engineered by extremists on the right that will render abortion illegal 30 days after the Supreme Court issues its final judgment overturning Roe v. Wade, Texas is ground zero for both the war on women’s health care and for the nationwide defense of women’s rights.
The Chronicle has been following the struggle for years, and what happens in Texas – both victories and defeats – often sets the pattern for the whole country.
