Seven states tried to ban abortion in the first trimester earlier this year. Here’s what’s happened in the months since

Five states passed bills banning the procedure after six weeks, before many women even realize they’re pregnant. And in May, Alabama governor Kay Ivey signed a near-full ban on the procedure.
The fight doesn’t end here, though. Planned Parenthood director of state advocacy media Bonyen Lee-Gilmore says now is not the time to “rest easy,” as states are expected to appeal to circuit courts. Under Trump, these courts have become increasingly hostile to reproductive rights. On May 15, Alabama governor Kay Ivey signed into law a bill that was so restrictive, even Republicans were divided over it: a near-full ban on the procedure with no exceptions for rape or incest. It would also make performing the procedure a felony in most instances.
“The federal district court today fulfilled its oath to uphold and defend the Constitution,” ACLU attorney Sean J. Young told the Journal-Constitution. “This abortion ban has been unconstitutional from start to finish, and today is a victory for the dignity of women throughout Georgia.”On March 15, Kentucky became one of the first states of the year to sign into law its six-week abortion ban, which was scheduled to go into effect immediately, per the New York Times.
