New York abortion providers brace for 'cascading' impact of potential Roe reversal

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

63% : Nationally, Republican lawmakers and anti-abortion activists are already working to advance a nationwide abortion ban, the Washington Post reports.
51% :Planned Parenthood is lobbying the state to create a $50 million Reproductive Freedom & Equity Fund to help build out the state's infrastructure and assist those without access to abortion.
46% : If the Roe is reversed, federal lawmakers can pass a law protecting abortion nationally, superseding the Supreme Court decision, but advocates say they have little faith that Congress will act.
44% : "This isn't a short-term emergency ... we are going to have to rebuild an abortion care network that will last the next 10 to 20 years as states do the hard work of moving their state legislatures to allow for abortion again."
43% : Gov. Kathy Hochul on Tuesday touted New York's strong abortion law and vowed to make New York a haven for Americans seeking to terminate a pregnancy, as it was in 1970 when it became one of the first states to legalize abortion.
41% : The opinion, published Monday evening by Politico, would leave laws on when a pregnancy can be terminated up to the states, many of which already have laws on the books chipping away at access to abortion or banning it outright.
39% :About half of U.S. states are expected to ban abortion if Roe falls, according to the abortion-rights think tank Guttmacher Institute.
36% : Western New York providers, however, anticipate a spillover in patients from Pennsylvania, which is neutral on the issue, and Ohio, where lawmakers have moved to fully criminalize abortion if Roe falls.
