Question

Davis says that the effects of the end of Roe and rise of abortion bans in states like Ohio will fall most harshly on Black women. Why do you think this is?

Answer 1

I think Davis is saying that the effects of the end of Roe and the rise of abortion bans in states like Ohio will fall most harshly on Black women because they are already disproportionately affected by poverty, lack of access to health care and other resources, and other systemic issues.

Black women are also more likely to lack the financial resources or mobility to access abortion services in other states.

All of these factors, combined with the potential criminalization of abortion, would make it even more difficult for Black women to access the health care they need.
