Planned Parenthood is pushing to create a regional network of abortion providers to help women in states that might outlaw abortion if the Supreme Court strikes down Roe v. Wade, the 1973 ruling that made abortion a constitutional right.
Representatives of the women's health and abortion provider outlined the plan on Wednesday, a day after newly confirmed Justice Brett Kavanaugh heard his first oral arguments at the Supreme Court. Abortion rights groups vehemently fought Kavanaugh's confirmation because they believe he will overturn Roe. If Roe were struck down, each state would then be able to determine whether to outlaw abortion.
