Summarize the below passage in few lines
one year ago, when the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, we immediately wondered what losing the constitutional right to an abortion would mean for people incarcerated in states where the procedure is outlawed.We knew that finding people to tell these stories would be a challenge. Even before the end of Roe, many correctional facilities had no written policy outlining when and how people in custody could get an abortion. Incarcerated pregnant people also face numerous practical barriers to abortion, such as having to pay for it themselves or cover the cost of an officer escort to the clinic. And because the U.S. is made up of thousands of different state, federal, local and tribal systems, it’s hard to pinpoint how many pregnancies behind bars end in abortion.
So we had to ask ourselves how we would connect with incarcerated people whose communication is limited and monitored. How would we navigate health privacy laws? Why would anyone behind bars risk coming forward about such a personal choice? Who would be willing to tell us about an abortion they wanted but never received?
