TUPELO, MISSISSIPPI, July 19: American women face increasing legal obstacles to obtaining abortions as more states pass laws restricting access, some so stringent they approach a ban on the procedure, according to a report issued yesterday by the Center for Reproductive Rights. The New York-based advocacy group cited nearly 40 laws enacted across 15 states this year having the potential to restrict women’s access to reproductive health care, nearly 40 years after the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Roe v. Wade made the controversial procedure legal. (agencies)
