Idaho and Utah have continued banning or limiting abortions, while Oregon and California are stockpiling abortion pills.

Idaho and Utah were two of the 13 states that had trigger laws to make abortions illegal when the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. As soon as Roe v. Wade was overturned, Idaho joined the list of states where abortion became prohibited, while Utah’s ban continues to be challenged in court.
