    The Spin

    Left narrative

    It's a woman's right to access abortion, and tough restrictions merely force people to travel out of state to seek medical care. The need for abortions will always exist - as confirmed by these numbers - and the overturning of Roe v. Wade will only strip Americans of their reproductive rights.

    Right narrative

    It's the State's duty to protect the unborn. We need to stop spending so much on abortions and start considering how to support pregnancy and childbirth so that a woman doesn't think abortion is the only option.

    Metaculus Prediction

    There's a 92% chance that Roe v. Wade will be overturned before 2023, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
