We have gone from the margin of error to the margin of effort.

“Much of the story…comes down to a small network of medical providers who found ways to prescribe and ship abortion pills around the country…Outrage over the Dobbs decision also spurred a wave of donations and educational campaigns that helped expand access to in-person abortions at clinics.”
Abortion rates were expected to drop after Roe was overturned. Instead, they rose – and birth rates fell.

Her case raises questions about how abortion bans are pressuring doctors to avoid standard care even in straightforward miscarriages.

'No recourse to public funds' has been successfully challenged in the UK courts! The UK govt policy breaches a duty of care because long wait times for immigration decisions mean people are left destitute with no means to support themselves or get support.
This is a significant ruling. Home Sec ruled to have breached her duties leaving people destitute without recourse.
Need to abolish NRPF entirely. Leaving people utterly destitute, driving them to exploitation & costing an absolute fortune through its cruel impact.
