Abortion access and politics four years after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.

June 24, 2026 marks four years since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. Abortion numbers have increased nationally since the ruling, driven by medication abortion and shield laws in states protecting abortion access. Anti-abortion activists are debating new enforcement strategies, while Democrats view abortion ballot measures as a midterm opportunity.
