4 years after Dobbs, advocates clash over how far to take fight for later abortion access

Four years after the Dobbs decision upended federal abortion rights, advocates are deeply divided on the next steps to secure access to later-term abortions. The case of Kate Dineen highlights the harsh reality that even in states with relatively progressive reproductive laws, stringent gestational limits can still deny women access to abortion. This ongoing debate underscores the broader tension between protecting state-level reproductive rights and the need for a unified national strategy to ensure comprehensive access, especially as more states enact restrictive laws.
