Overturning Roe v. Wade is cold comfort for the poor woman who cannot get the money to fly to a distant state for a procedure, according to a scathing dissent from the Supreme Court’s liberal wing.
The Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade and hand abortion laws solely back to the states will exact a price on woman, diminishing their “opportunities to participate fully and equally in the nation’s political, social, and economic life,” according to a scathing dissent from the court’s liberal wing that dug into the financial implications of a post-Roe America.
“‘That is cold comfort, of course, for the poor woman who cannot get the money to fly to a distant state for a procedure.’” Women living below the poverty line have unintended pregnancies at five times the rate of richer women or those earning 400% more than the poverty line, according to the Brookings Institution, a Washington, D.C.-based think tank.

Anthony Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser Last year, the median self-pay costs for medication abortion were $568, according to researchers at the University of California San Francisco’s Advancing New Standards in Reproductive Health program. The cost was $625 for a first-trimester abortion and $775 for a second-trimester abortion.
