"[S]ome researchers are forecasting what the future might look like in the United States if Roe is overturned or significantly curtailed by the Supreme Court. In one unpublished analysis, Myers modelled what will happen if abortions are banned in 12 states with pre-emptive âtrigger bansâ â which will automatically block abortion if Roe is overturned â and in 10 other states with several types of abortion restrictions in place. She estimates that, on average, a woman in these states who seeks an abortion will need to travel 280 miles (450 kilometres) to reach a clinic (see âIf Roe is overturnedâ), and each year the distance will present an insurmountable obstacle for around 100,000 of them, who donât have the means to travel far. Laurie Sobel, a researcher at KFF, a non-partisan health-policy research organization based in San Francisco, California, is working on a similar assessment. KFF refrains from taking political positions, but Sobel says the evidence for the potential repercussions of this court decision is clear. âThis could have a devastating impact on women that would be real and very severe in many states.â"
