Fescuerescue, we had Roe in place as a federal law. That just changed, but 16 states have laws in place specifically protecting the right to abortion. (Probably 23 others have or will soon make it illegal.) Leaving 11 states.

AND the federal laws the DoJ promises to use to fight for the rights of women and in support of its statement that the abortion pill is legal. In the process,
you'll undoubtedly learn about more federal laws in place and ready to use.
