HARTFORD, Conn. — As the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade national protections for abortion on Friday, Connecticut has become a “safe harbor” for women seeking an abortion.
Gov. Ned Lamont signed a new law this year offering legal protection for both patients and providers. The law, which takes effect on July 1, also expands who is eligible to offer abortion care.
As other states wait for laws to take effect banning it, Gov. Ned Lamont has promised the state will keep abortion safe, legal and accessible. But how accessible is it in Connecticut? What do people experience when seeking to terminate a pregnancy?
