More than 3 million financially insecure Latina women live in the 26 states where abortion is banned or may soon be.

That is almost half the nearly 6.7 million Latinas who live in those states, representing the largest group of women of color affected by the court's decision.

While the mandate does not require employers to either give paid time off or cover abortion costs,"the act is now law and it absolutely covers pregnant workers," said Greszler.
