That's almost half the nearly 6.7 million Latinas who live in those states, representing the largest group of women of color affected by the court's decision. Financially insecure women are more likely to be affected by state bans and restrictions, the report notes, because they are likely to lack funds to travel to another state for abortion care. Roughly 1.4 million Latinas in these 26 abortion-restricted states work in service occupations, according to the report. Twenty-six states have banned or further restricted abortion services by providers such as Planned Parenthood since the Supreme Court overturned the landmark Roe v. Wade case. Michael B.

Latinas are the largest group of women of color affected by current and future state abortion bans and restrictions: More than 4 in 10 Latinas of reproductive age live in the nearly two dozen states where officials are working to make abortion inaccessible. Three-quarters of the Latinas who live in states with abortion bans or restrictions are concentrated in Texas, Florida and Arizona. Roe’s repeal opened the door for 13 states, most of them in the South and the Midwest, to implement abortion bans. Nearly 3.1 million Latinas affected by current and future abortion bans in the 26 states are already mothers. Close to 4.3 million white Latinas, 820,500 multiracial Latinas, over 107,000 Black Latinas, nearly 57,000 Native Latinas and 18,500 Asian American Pacific Islander Latinas live in those states.
