I was arguing with a dude a few weeks ago about it because he wanted data from post-Dobbs to confirm that deaths were rising. I first said it was fucking demented that he needed to see that in order to be persuaded that abortions save lives, but second, I already demonstrated that maternal death rates dropped significantly following the original passing of Roe…so, just all-out bad faith
I think we’ll still have to wait for raw data to be gathered and presented. It’s been about a year now, so I hope we can see some research soon. I’m in a state that had trigger laws, but am less than an hour from the border of another state that voted to affirm abortion rights in their constitution.

Anyway, I was doing some digging and came across this article from Pew Research covering shifts in viewpoints you might find interesting: https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2023/04/26/nearly-a-year-after-roes-demise-americans-views-of-abortion-access-increasingly-vary-by-where-they-live/
