UCLA Latino Policy and Politics Institute researchers found that nearly half of the Latina population of childbearing age lives in states with abortion restrictions.
The Supreme Court decision overturning Roe vs Wade could make it more challenging over time for more than 5 million Latinas to access abortions, according to a new report.
“There isn’t the nuance and attention and full treatment to the Latina experience in this country that is afforded to non-Hispanic white women,” Diaz said. “When we talk about Dobbs, we’re really thinking about the universality of women, but there’s a central focus on white women … so the research at [the institute] was trying to put a spotlight on Latinas in ways that made empirical sense.”
By the time the decision came out, some states had so-called trigger laws already in place that instantly stopped health providers from being able to offer abortion procedures leading to confusion and some women being unable to get help, even while in the waiting room for their appointment.In a historic reversal, the Supreme Court strikes down a half-century of nationwide abortion rights in the U.S.
She also said lack of equal pay for Latinas and many of them leaving the workforce during the COVID-19 pandemic to help with child care or elder care is also going to make it challenging for them to regain economic footing. It would also make it challenging for them to pay for abortion care and other needs like traveling to different states if necessary for the procedure.
In June, a report from the Guttmacher Institute, a nonprofit that advocates for reproductive health, found abortions rose 7%, from 13.5 per 1,000 women and girls of child-bearing age in 2017 to 14.4 in 2020.In 2020, there were 930,160 abortions in the United States, an 8% increase from 2017 and the first significant rise in three decades.
Right now there’s “a data vacuum” because it’s unclear how many women are traveling out of state or out of the country for abortions or how many are using abortion medication bought online, Salganicoff said.
