If Donald Trump’s Supreme Court of the future moves to overturn Roe v. Wade, access to legal abortion in the United States wouldn’t vanish. But it would likely become staggeringly unequal — an option only for women who happen to live in a liberal state or have the money to travel to one. For a glimpse of this possible fate, look to the recent past. In 1970, New York became the first state to allow any woman to end a pregnancy without proving she’d been raped or that her health would fail if gestation continued. “Women flocked there,” said Katha Pollitt, author of Pro: Reclaiming Abortion Rights. “But low-income women, disproportionately women of color, were trapped in anti-abortion states.” (Paquette and Soffen, 11/15)

Thousands of people have made donations to Planned Parenthood in the name of Vice President-elect Mike Pence, an abortion opponent, so that he will receive official acknowledgements from the women's health care provider, the group said on Tuesday. The idea of making donations in Pence's name arose and spread on social media as a protest after Republican Donald Trump won his bid for the U.S. presidency in a surprise victory last week.

“GET AN IUD TOMORROW.” That’s what Erin Gloria Ryan, the senior editor at The Daily Beast, posted on Twitter at 8:53 p.m. on Election Day, Nov. 8. Her tweet, which was retweeted more than a thousand times, was among the first calls to action for American women of reproductive age, and Seattle-area women appear to be among those listening. The next day, the Planned Parenthood call center that handles 28 health centers, including the ones in Seattle, fielded 200 more calls than usual. (Clarridge, 11/15)
