Some LGBTQ people fear the reversal of abortion rights protections would have far-reaching impacts — both on their health and other rights such as marriage equality.
The opinion, which is not yet final, would give states the ability to regulate or ban abortion. If Roe is overturned,, according to an NBC News analysis of Center for Reproductive Rights data. Thirteen states have so-called trigger bans, which would ban the procedure as soon as the precedent is struck down.
Paige Alexandria, a queer woman living in Austin who had an abortion when she was 25, said queer and trans people will be among the first impacted by the Supreme Court opinion should it become the law of the land. Several studies also suggest that LGBTQ people would be disproportionately affected by restrictions on abortion.that all sexual minority groups who can become pregnant — except lesbians — are more likely than their straight counterparts to experience an unintended pregnancy, a teen pregnancy or to have had an abortion. Bisexual women were three times as likely to have had an abortion than heterosexuals.
“It’s already having an impact,” Ramos said. “A lot of people don’t know that men can get pregnant and nonbinary folks…. The biggest thing is we’re being ostracized because we’re not coming up in conversation.”
