State Restrictions. Most states have abortion restrictions in place that limit when and how someone can access abortion. Forty-three states have gestational limits in place that prohibit abortion after a certain point in pregnancy, with some exceptions (Guttmacher, 2020a). Forty states require that abortion be performed by a licensed physician (Xxxxxxxxxx, 2020a). Eighteen states require someone seeking an abortion to have counseling beforehand that includes information on “the purported link between abortion and breast cancer, the ability of a fetus to feel pain, or long-term mental health consequences for the woman” (Xxxxxxxxxx, 2020a). Twenty-seven states have waiting periods that require someone seeking an abortion to wait a certain amount of time, typically 24 hours, between receiving abortion counseling and when the procedure is performed (Guttmacher, 2020a). Most states allow individual providers and health institutions to refuse to perform abortion (Xxxxxxxxxx, 2020a). States may also restrict funding for abortion services. Thirty-three states do not allow their funds to be used for abortion for Medicaid recipients except in cases when federal funds are available, when a pregnant person’s life is in danger or when the pregnancy is the result of rape or incest (Xxxxxxxxxx, 2020a). Additionally, twelve states prohibit private insurance coverage for abortion services, with exceptions for the pregnant person’s life (Xxxxxxxxxx, 2020a). Georgia was among the states restricting abortion access. In January of 2013, Georgia enacted a “20-week” ban on abortion, which would prohibit abortion after the 20th week of pregnancy or 22 weeks since last menstrual period (Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx, & Xxxxxxxx, 2015). Prior to 2013, abortion was available in Georgia until 26 weeks and included exceptions for women’s health later in pregnancy (Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx, & Xxxxxxxx, 2015). Georgia’s 20-week ban, which is still in effect, is “based on the assertion that a fetus can feel pain at 18 or 20 weeks postfertilization,” and includes exceptions to protect a woman’s life or physical health (Xxxxxxxxxx, 2020a). Georgia abortion restrictions include mandatory counseling which includes information on social services and adoption agencies, designed to dissuade one from obtaining an abortion (Xxxxxxxxxx, 2020b; NARAL, 2020). Patients must wait at least 24 hours after receiving counseling before obtaining their abortion. Health insurance plans in the state are prohibited from covering abortion services, except...
