A closer look at five regulations
There are 31 states that have at least one of the following abortion regulations: waiting periods, restrictions on health insurance coverage, bans after 20 weeks of pregnancy, requirements that clinics meet ambulatory surgical center standards or requirements that abortion doctors have hospital admitting privileges. Regulations for clinics to meet ambulatory surgical center standards vary by state, and some are more restrictive than others.
There are 25 states, not including Texas, that have at least one of the last two regulations, which were covered in the Supreme Court ruling on June 27. That does not include Kansas, which has been temporarily enjoined from both ambulatory surgical center standards and requiring hospital privileges. Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Wisconsin have been temporarily enjoined from requiring hospital privileges. Oklahoma has been permanently enjoined from requiring hospital privileges.
