Those states are Arkansas, Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and Wyoming. Some laws were enacted immediately while others have a 30-day lead in.

As CBN News reported, nearly half of the country's 50 states are poised to ban or significantly restrict access to abortion.
