It's been roughly 100 days since Roe fell. Here's the devastating tally.

A little more than 100 days ago, a group of six reactionary far-right religious extremists, five of them appointed by presidents who lost the popular vote in their first term, stripped American women of our fundamental right to decide whether or not to carry a pregnancy to term. In doing so, they put us in league with some of the most conservative and misogynist nations in the world, set American women back a century, undermined their own legitimacy, and put the country squarely on the path to misogynist authoritarianism. Tremendous work all around.

In those 100 days:

* 66 abortion clinics have closed down.

* Some 22 million American women — nearly one in three — lost access to abortion care in her state.

* Zero of the states that have criminalized abortion have significantly scaled up support for women and the children they are forcing those women to bear.

*Zero of the states that have banned abortion have passed paid parental leave policies that would enable women forced into motherhood to care for their infants.

And then, of course, there are the numbers no one’s counting, but that we know are ticking up:

* How many rape victims have been told they have to bear their attacker’s child?

* How many children raped by adults have been told they have to risk their lives and mortgage their futures because adults have decided, in so many different ways, that their small bodies are for someone else’s use?

* How many women with much-wanted pregnancies learned that something had gone terribly wrong, and that their child would not live, or would be born with serious problems incompatible with life, and were nonetheless told, sorry, under the laws of this state you have to carry this pregnancy to term — and face the congratulations and belly-pats of strangers; go through the pain and trauma of childbearing; and then have a stillbirth, or watch a much-wanted child live a short, agonizing life?

* How many women miscarrying pregnancies were not given a full range of options? How many were told to go home and wait it out, and only come back if they showed signs of a full-blown life-threatening infection? How many wound up in the ICU with infections that would have been preventable had they been given the option for a D&C? How many saw their fertility compromised or lost their uteruses?

* And how many women aren’t in extreme circumstances but are just regular people who want, as most women around the world do, the right to chart their own course and decide their own future?

* How many women found out they were pregnant when they didn’t want to be and were told they are legally obligated to carry a pregnancy they don’t want, have a child they can’t afford, and narrow the aperture of their own dreams?
