One study, published this week in the journal Perspectives on Sexual and Reproductive Health, found that proposed abortion bans in Ohio could substantially increase the distance to care for residents of the state. It's a finding likely to be repeated in restrictive areas throughout the nation, particularly in the South and Midwest, according to the researchers.

The research team analyzed distance to providers under a "best case" scenario (two of Ohio's five surrounding states continue to offer care) and "worst case" scenario (no surrounding states offer care after the Supreme Court ruling).
