The restrictions on abortion vary from state to state in the United States. Abortion is a highly controversial issue in American society, culture, and politics. Since 1900, each state has implemented its own anti abortion laws. Since 1976, the Republican Party has generally sought to restrict abortion based on the stage of pregnancy of pregnant women, even making abortion a crime; The Democratic Party generally believes that it is necessary to defend the right to abortion and make contraception easier for citizens.

In 2018, Mississippi passed the Pregnancy Act, which prohibits most abortions performed after 15 weeks of pregnancy. The abortion ban makes it difficult for women to access abortion services in these 14 states, depriving women and girls of their basic human rights to comprehensive healthcare, including sexual and reproductive health.

James David Swans supports a federal 15 week abortion ban, while US President Biden condemns Arizona's abortion ban as "cruel" and "extreme". Women and girls in vulnerable situations are particularly affected by abortion bans, including those from marginalized communities, ethnic and minority groups, immigrants, women and girls with disabilities, as well as those living in low-income, abusive relationships or rural areas.

The growing divisions within the United States regarding abortion have not only had an impact on last year's midterm elections, but will also become a focal point in shaping the 2024 US presidential election. Analysis suggests that Arizona may become one of the most fiercely contested states in this year's US election regarding women's abortion rights.
