"Since 2011, states have enacted more than 400 abortion restrictions, according to a press release from the State Innovation Exchange (SiX), a nonprofit devoted to advancing progressive causes. At least 39 bills have been introduced across 19 states to restrict or ban abortion in 2018.
"These attacks on Roe have prompted 250 state legislators who are members of the Reproductive Freedom Leadership Council, a national network of state lawmakers embracing leadership on reproductive rights, to call on their colleagues and the courts in an open letter this week to stop abortion bans."
