Abortion is now banned or severely restricted in 14 states in the US, the outcome of a decades-long campaign by anti-abortion advocates. In many states, abortion is no longer seen as a health procedure, but a morality issue. Pennsylvania’s Doug Mastriano – once a state senator, now running for governor – is one of a number of Republican politicians who has called for murder charges for people who defy abortion bans.
In 13 of those 14 states, abortion is banned even in the earliest stages of pregnancy.
These images, supplied to us by the MYA Network, a network of clinicians and activists who came together earlier in the pandemic when some states tried to deem abortion as “non-essential” medical care, show what tissue in the first nine weeks of pregnancy actually looks like.
Six weeks of pregnancy.

Two Chicago police officers are facing felony charges after prosecutors say video of a shooting in Pilsen showed they lied about what happened.
Sgt. Christopher Liakopoulos, 43, and Officer Ruben Reynoso, 42, claimed they returned fire after shots were fired at them early on the morning of July 22. The officers were not hit, but two other people were wounded, one seriously.
But Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx said at a news conference the officers’ claims “were contradicted by videotaped evidence,” and Liakopoulos and Reynoso actually fired first. The man the officers shot did not have a gun, Foxx noted.
“The officers did not have provocation or justification to shoot the unarmed victim,” she said. “Evidence does not support use of deadly force.”
Reynoso and Liakopoulos were both charged with aggravated battery with a firearm, aggravated discharge of a firearm and official misconduct. They could face a maximum of 30 years in prison, Foxx said. Judge Maryam Ahmad ordered each officer to post $2,500 bond as well as surrender any weapons they own and their firearm owners identification cards. The judge said she was setting a monetary bail based on the seriousness of the Class X charges.
Reynoso has been on the job since 2003 and Liakopoulos since 2001, Foxx said. Both were assigned to the Major Accidents Unit at the time of the shooting.
