Since the overturning of Roe v. Wade, individual states have taken control of abortion laws. Many states have implemented new restrictions and bans on abortion, with some enforcing existing ones. These restrictions disproportionately affect marginalized groups. While some state laws include limited exceptions for total bans based on gestational duration, access to abortion care remains significantly restricted in many areas. The Guttmacher Institute provides an interactive map and legislative tracker detailing current state abortion laws and restrictions. Globally, abortion policies vary widely: * 662 million (34%) women of reproductive age live in 77 countries where abortion is allowed on request with varying gestational limits. * 457 million (23%) women live in 12 countries/territories permitting abortion based on broad social or economic grounds. * 111 million (6%) women reside in 21 countries that prohibit abortion entirely. Various types of abortion restrictions exist, including: * **Method bans:** Prohibit specific abortion methods like dilation and extraction (D&X) or dilation and evacuation (D&E). * **Telehealth shield laws:** Protect providers offering telemedicine abortion care to residents who cannot travel for the procedure. It's important to note that there is no evidence suggesting pregnant individuals seek abortions based on the sex or race of their fetus.

Ethnic group Iranian Jews in Israel refers to the community of Iranian Jews who immigrated there. A large wave of immigration occurred in 1952 during Operation Cyrus, with an additional influx following the 1979 Iranian Revolution. In 2007, Israel offered incentives for Iranian Jewish immigration. Tensions between Israel and Iran have escalated, leading to Israeli airstrikes on Iranian nuclear and military sites in recent years. These strikes, such as Operation Rising Lion, target key facilities involved in Iran's nuclear program. While US intelligence suggests Israel is prepared to strike again, these actions are unlikely to significantly hinder Iran's nuclear ambitions and wouldn't solve the issue entirely.
