Shefali Luthra: Dobbs 裁决后，人们为获得堕胎服务而长途跋涉，给本来资源就不足的堕胎诊所带来了巨大的压力。即使在堕胎合法化的州，获得医疗服务也变得更加困难。欧洲国家对堕胎的限制方式与美国不同，欧洲的例外情况更为开放，而美国的例外情况在实践中难以操作。美国的反堕胎运动对其他国家的反堕胎运动有影响。 Sarah McCammon: 尽管许多南方州和全国约一半的州都大幅限制了堕胎，但堕胎数量却有所增加，这可能是因为人们找到了规避这些法律的方法，包括跨州旅行和使用堕胎药。州一级的堕胎禁令可能会导致更多晚期妊娠的堕胎，因为妇女需要时间休假、攒钱支付旅行和酒店费用，从而推迟堕胎。共和党在堕胎问题上的信息传递前后矛盾，反映了他们在2024年大选上面临的挑战，他们需要同时争取保守派和摇摆选民的支持。美国福音派对堕胎的立场转变发生在20世纪70年代末，这与道德多数派运动和对保守基督教机构整合的斗争有关。脱离福音派的人通常比仍然信奉福音派的人更具有进步性，但他们参与政治的程度较低。 Mary Jo Pitzl: 目前亚利桑那州的堕胎获取情况：在都市地区仍然可以获得堕胎服务，但在农村地区则很难获得。1864年的堕胎禁令尚未生效，但可能会在短期内生效，这给医疗服务提供者带来了不确定性。亚利桑那州共和党人对1864年堕胎禁令的态度存在分歧，一些人私下表示希望废除该法，但公开投票中却支持该法。凯丽·莱克在堕胎问题上的立场摇摆不定，最初支持全面堕胎禁令，但在法院裁决后，她试图采取中间立场。在亚利桑那州，堕胎问题可能会比移民问题更能促使选民投票，因为1864年的堕胎禁令对许多选民来说过于严格。如果共和党人废除了1864年的堕胎禁令，这可能会将注意力转向对抗正在进行中的公民倡议，该倡议旨在将堕胎权写入亚利桑那州宪法。亚利桑那州也出现了限制性别确认护理的现象，这与限制堕胎的现象相似，都导致人们需要到州外寻求医疗服务。

The podcast opens with a discussion on the current state of abortion politics in the U.S., highlighting Arizona as a key battleground.

Shownotes Transcript

Despite a recent uptick, President Biden’s approval rating and his poll numbers against Donald Trump are far from stellar. And with inflation remaining stubbornly high and gas prices moving up, Biden and his party seem eager to focus voters on abortion rights — and Republicans in Arizona and Florida have given him plenty of material to work with. 

To understand how the abortion issue might play out in November — and how the Dobbs decision is already affecting millions of people across the country, even in states without bans — we turn to three experts: Shefali Luthra covers abortion for The 19th, and her book, “Undue Burden, Life and Death Decisions in Post Roe America,” comes out in May; Sarah McCammon is a national political correspondent for NPR and the co-host of the NPR Politics Podcast. Her book, “Exvangelicals: Loving, Living and Leaving the White Evangelical Church,” came out in March; and Mary Jo Pitzl is a senior state government reporter for the Arizona Republic who’s been reporting in Arizona for decades. She’s also the host of The Gaggle, an Arizona politics podcast.
