The Realities of a Post-Roe America

When Roe was overturned in the summer of 2022, at least 13 states had laws put in place that were meant to be triggered by the fall of Roe and ban abortion in all but the most extreme cases. But what happened to the people who qualified for these abortion exceptions? Today, VICE reporter Carter Sherman dissects the impacts these trigger laws had on states, abortion providers and those who were unable to receive immediate care.
