(SRN NEWS) – Pro-life laws at the state level are reducing abortion in some unexpected ways.  A number of groups that have been helping women pay for abortions and associated travel are cutting back their aid as travel costs rise. Those groups say state bans on abortion are forcing women to travel farther, thereby increasing their costs.  While in the past abortion advocates only had to provide gas money, they now have to book flights and hotel rooms.  So far 14 states have banned abortion altogether, or from about six weeks of pregnancy on.

A federal judge has ruled that more than 8,000 Catholic employers nationwide can ignore the Biden administration’s regulations aimed at promoting abortion.  In a sharply worded order, U.S. District Judge Daniel Traynor of North Dakota granted a preliminary injunction to the Catholic Benefits Association and the Diocese of Bismarck.  Traynor says a rule adopted by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in April violates their freedom of religion.  The association provides health benefits to 85 dioceses and archdioceses across the country.
