Cathy Torres, a 25-year-old who works with a Texas organization that helps women pay for abortions, is one of the many advocates across the country who is speaking up after the leaked draft opinion.

“Abortion restrictions are racist. They directly impact people of color, Black, brown, Indigenous people … people who are trying to make ends meet,” the Frontera Fund organizing manager told ABC News.

Laurie Bertram Roberts, another advocate, said women of color living in restrictive states have limited access to health care and a lack of choices for effective birth control. Roberts said marginalized women, especially those in Southern states, struggle to travel to other parts of the country to terminate pregnancies.

“We’re talking about folks who are already marginalized,” Roberts, who serves as the executive director of Yellowhammer Fund, an organization that provides financial support for women seeking an abortion, said.

Roberts also expressed similar concerns in December when Mississippi aimed to revive a 15-week abortion ban blocked by lower courts.

“Low-income people are always disproportionately impacted by abortion bans, and Black and brown people are more likely to be low income,” Roberts said at the time, according to Newsweek. “When you factor in that Mississippi is one of the poorest states in the United States and that many Black people in the state of Mississippi live in the Mississippi Delta, which is the poorest area in the poorest state, you’re talking about barriers upon barriers already, just in terms of money.”

According to the Guttmacher Institute, an organization that supports abortion rights, about 26 states will likely ban abortion if Roe is struck down, forcing many women to travel far for the services they need.

“To then be like, oh, I need to go on this cross-country trip to get my abortion that may take me three or four days,” Roberts said. “You know, it’s just so undoable.”

Women are also continuing to fight for their rights in Texas after the state passed Senate Bill 8, the ruling also known as the six-week abortion ban, according to Newsone.

“They know who these restrictions are going to affect. They know that, but they don’t care,” Torres said, adding that anti-abortion laws have been historically designed in ways that hurt low-income women.

According to the ACLU, abortion and contraceptives were legal in the U.S. prior to the Civil War. However, the trend shifted after the end of slavery as white men feared competition from skilled Black midwives who aimed to enter the practice of child delivery, the ACLU reports.

The Center for Urban Renewal and Education has published a document that argues against abortion. According to the report, The Effects of Abortion on the Black Community, abortion has been used as a population control, racist agenda. The researchers say former Republican President Richard Nixon led the effort to promote population control, particularly in the Black community. Additionally, the report blames Planned Parenthood for pushing the population control effort.

In the latest document obtained by Politico, Justice Samuel Alito said “Roe was egregiously wrong from the start.”

“We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled,” Alito wrote in the document, titled “Opinion of the Court.” “It is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people’s elected representatives.”
