# How each state stacks up

_The fifty states and DC compared on 23 measures of abortion law in 6 bands, color-coded against the abolitionist position._

Each cell names the finding from that state's machine-readable summary and, in parentheses, its color: **green** is the abolition-aligned reading of the column, **yellow** a partial measure, **red** the absence of restriction, **unclear** a point the survey could not settle. Values current as of Jul 2026. An enjoined ban counts as partial: the grid shows the law as enforced, not as written. The Hurdles band shows conditions on the procedure as written, which are moot under a total ban; apart from both-parent consent it has no green reading. A one-page printable version is at [state-comparison-snapshot.pdf](https://www.abhortion.org/pdf/state-comparison-snapshot.pdf); the full survey behind each row is linked from the state name.
