This fall, millions will attend college in abortion-restricted states, leaving them with limited options.
Currently, nearly half of states across the US completely ban or heavily restrict access to abortion, which means that this fall, millions of students will return to college campuses in states without access to abortion care. According to estimates from the Center for Reproductive Rights , about six million students are expected to attend college in abortion-restricted states.
“We know that young people experience all the burdens, all the barriers that adult abortion seekers do, but in many states where abortion is legal, they also have to deal with parental involvement laws, and so they are facing even more restrictions and more barriers,” MaryRose Mazzola, an attorney and the director of the Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts ASPIRE Center for Sexual and Reproductive Health, previously told Teen Vogue.
