This article focuses on the continuing assault on reproductive justice in 2013 in the United States, particularly at the hands of state legislators. Twenty-two states passed 70 new restrictions in 2013, adding to the more than 135 passed in 2011 and 2012. Dominant were restrictions on providers, bans on abortion after 20-22 weeks of pregnancy, and outlawing contraception or abortion coverage in various insurance plans.
