Colorado is one of seven states which allows abortions at any point in pregnancy. In 2018, more than 40 percent of abortion services for a Planned Parenthood in Durango, near the state's border, were for out-of-state patients.https://rewirenewsgroup.com/article/2019/02/21/welcome-to-colorado-where-you-can-get-a-safe-legal-abortion/ …

Judges interpret "undue burden" differently, leaving room for anti-abortion states to pass more restrictions. Some state laws, like six-week bans, clearly violate Roe v. Wade. Abortion opponents hope #SCOTUS will rule on such laws, and reverse or scale back Roe v. Wade.pic.twitter.com/dfxlS2HglB

From left, Sonya Clay, Jamia Wilson, Justine Augeri, and members of Planned Parenthood, displayed signs and wore robes in front of the Supreme Court. They were waiting for the resignation of Chief Justice William Rehnquist or Justice Sandra Day O'Conner, and wanted to remind people of the importance of Roe v. Wade.

President Joe Biden has vowed to protect abortion rights, including passing a federal law to enshrine Roe v. Wade's protections. Though Democrats control Congress, it's unclear if he has the votes.https://bit.ly/3iydPnc

Advocates expect state abortion restrictions to dominate 2021. Bills have been introduced in Texas, Kentucky, Montana and Ohio. "Abortion access is actually still hanging on by a thread, and we don't foresee that changing," said @PPFA's Bonyen Lee-Gilmore.https://bit.ly/3iydPnc

Data suggests that abortion restrictions disproportionately affect Black, Latinx and lower-income people. Here's data the @DallasNews analyzed from a 2013 abortion law in Texas, which was struck down three years later. https://www.dallasnews.com/news/politics/2016/07/18/hispanic-women-bore-brunt-of-texas-abortion-law-data-shows/ …pic.twitter.com/mLxaKxwSeg

Donald Trump has reshaped the judiciary since 2016 — including his three #SCOTUS justices, all with histories of opposing abortion. That, experts say, increases the odds of a Roe v. Wade challenge, with a ruling that scales back protections.https://bit.ly/34OE8z3

Last summer, the #SCOTUS struck down Louisiana-based abortion restrictions in June Medical Services v. Russo. But in a concurrence, Chief Justice John Roberts signaled openness to finding in favor of future restrictions.https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/crisis-moment-states-advocates-brace-new-fight-over-abortion-rights-n1253665 …

Most recently, a Jan. 12 ruling prevented people from using telemedicine to get medication abortion pills, despite doctors arguing it's necessary during the pandemic. Advocates say that ruling, as well as the Louisiana decision, are telling signs.https://bit.ly/2KCLO1g

Without Roe v. Wade, experts imagine a patchwork of laws, where some states protect access, but others ban the procedure. "It's already very divided. Access to abortion is hard in many states and very limited," said @KFF's Laurie Sobel.pic.twitter.com/rnwFCvHQcg

Anti-abortion demonstrators rally outside of the U.S. Supreme Court. The most visible sign carried by protesters says "Patients Before Profits."

  The statement is empty verbiage that doesn't even use the word abortion
