By the end of August, nearly all of the abortion trigger bans in the country will have taken effect.
Thirteen states have legislation that was designed to automatically outlaw abortions once the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.
In some states, the trigger law is written so that abortions are immediately prohibited without needing further action. In others, the policy requires 30 days to go into effect or certification from the state's attorney general. Meanwhile, in Utah, Wyoming and North Dakota, their trigger bans have been temporarily blocked by local courts.
A number of states have codified abortion bans without the use of a trigger law. So far, a total of 14 states have near-total abortion bans or bans after six weeks of pregnancy.
Three of those states are expected to implement even more draconian laws starting Aug. 25.

..."States with abortion bans taking effect in September
Indiana became the first state to pass new legislation for an abortion ban since the reversal of Roe. That law is set to take effect on Sept. 15.
Similar to other states, Indiana will ban abortions except in the case of rape, incest or a medical emergency. Even then, the law imposes a complicated process for those abortions to be performed.
Arizona’s abortion ban, which would criminalize providing abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy, is scheduled to go into effect on Sept. 24. But a stricter ban is being considered by the courts, as requested by the state attorney general."

What exactly do anti-abortionists think these laws will do? They won't stop abortion. They will just cause more pregnant people to die than already do. We already have the highest maternal mortality rate of all developed nations. So we already have pregnant people who die just from pregnancy related things or post partum the way it is. Now there's states with no exceptions? Just outright banning it? What do they think that will accomplish?
