Since Dobbs, where you live decides what care you can get. A patient in one state gets a routine procedure; a patient four hours away is sent home to get sicker until she qualifies as an emergency, while her doctor calls a lawyer before calling a colleague. Hospitals have closed maternity wards rather than staff them under laws written to be prosecuted, so women in those counties now drive an hour to give birth whether they ever needed an abortion or not. This was never really a state-by-state question, because the people are the same people and the pregnancies are the same pregnancies — only the county line changed. Resistbot is asking the candidates on your 2026 ballot to pass the Women's Health Protection Act and restore a federal floor for abortion access, so that care stops depending on a map.
