A New Hawaii Abortion Guide Seeks To Address Gaps In Care…Advocates hope the guide will help clear up confusion over access to abortions in the islands — where it remains legal — after the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision that overturned Roe v. Wade.
The Hawaii Abortion Collective on Wednesday released the state’s first comprehensive resource providing information on abortion rights and services for patients and providers in the islands.
The guide follows the U.S. Supreme Court’s June decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which overturned Roe v. Wade and ruled that abortion is not a constitutional right.
While abortion remains legal under Hawaii law, the Supreme Court’s decision has created confusion and concern among both patients and abortion providers, Khara Jabola-Carolus, executive director of the Hawaii State Commission on the Status of Women, said Wednesday during a press conference.
