In the year since the U.S. Supreme Court reversed Roe v. Wade, 14 states have banned most abortions, but even more have moved to protect abortion rights in various ways.
Eleven states have passed so-called "shield laws," which can safeguard providers and patients against prosecution from other states. And at least 15 municipalities and six state governments allocated nearly $208 to pay for contraception, abortion and support services according to data provided to NPR by the National Institute for Reproductive Health.
Some states have opened new clinics and have become destinations for people seeking an abortion as new research shows just how difficult it has become to get in-person care.

States ability to self determine on this issue is going to be interesting. Over time red states become purple and then blue. Blue states become purple then red. This is going to yield changes in states law. Those changes will create confusion among the general public as to what states do and don't support abortion
