All three U.S. territories in the Pacific — Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands and American Samoa — also have the potential to adopt prohibitions, according to a 2019 report by the Center for Reproductive Rights. None have legal protections for abortion, and they could revive old abortion bans or enact new ones, the report said.
Williams said many Guam residents need time off work, a hotel room and a rental car to travel for an abortion, adding more costs. Without Roe, Guam could revert to an abortion ban dating to 1990. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled the law unconstitutional in 1992, but it has never been repealed.
Many women in Guam will suffer with illegal unsafe abortions. Legal abortions are safer than pregnancies. Abortion bans are covert theocratic policies. AbortionIsHealthcare
The cost of killing babies is getting ridiculous. Inflation, Gas prices, sending billions to Ukraine kids getting shot at school… and now this. Abortion is expensive!
Stop having irresponsible sexual activities and live up to your mistakes. Unless it's rape or incest, people should stop killing babies because because they don't want to be inconvenienced. 🙄
The decision to have an abortion should be between a woman and her doctor. Period.
Not my problem
Even if we are pro life, we don't have the right to determine someone's medical choice. Accept it people.
Good, make them work to kill their children

Oh no!
I would be a little surprised if they actually passed a law outlawing abortion in the NMI. It's already unconstitutional here, but I'm pretty sure that doesn't stop anyone.
Wouldn’t that spur a massive program on preventing pregnancies? It is not that difficult, I’m not sure why people give up on it so easily. Preventing is better than remediating.
Yeah. They'll likely have to. 'Cause of geography and shit. *eye roll*
