The Spin

Democratic narrative

Abortion bans are forcing women to carry nonviable pregnancies to term and disproportionately affecting those who cannot afford to travel for care, leading to preventable infant deaths and deepening existing health disparities in vulnerable populations.

USA TodaySalon
