Atwood has said, “In case someone said, ‘How did you make this up?’ As I’ve said about a million times, I didn’t make it up.” In the one year and nine months since the fall of Roe, headlines illustrating the dire state of women’s bodily autonomy in this country have piled up. A new report out of Louisiana details the impact of that state’s abortion ban — it found that women are undergoing high-risk, unnecessary surgeries instead of simple abortion procedures. Some women are being forced to wait until their life is at risk to receive care. Even standard prenatal care is being delayed.
