Literally by definition "viability" limits ARE gestational limits, as in they limit your ability to get an abortion if you are past a certain gestational duration.
3. This map is wrong on multiple levels. Abortion is banned again in North Dakota as of last week; that state is the wrong color. Only 9 states lack a gestational limit and should be dark blue under this key. 41 states have bans

If you cannot get to Milwaukee for care, shield law providers can help you. If you need in-clinic care, Minnesota and Illinois have got you. I know this makes things so much worse, but I promise, we WILL help you exercise your options.
