That article first says 21 states, then references 31 states, then goes back to 21 states, and none of the links actually give the states by name.
So, FWIW, I found this on Healthline, which I wouldn’t normally think of as a news source, but presumably the list of states is correct:
Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, and West Virginia

The manufacturer is capitulating to the terrorists, what does it matter if 20-odd states are imposing a ban on a drug that won’t be shipped to their state anyway?
@docosc: friendly reminder that the “Christian” zealots imposing these bans are in favor of women dying from sepsis if their miscarriage is incomplete without medical intervention. We’re just property of our fathers, then our husbands, after all. Super easy to replace with new property!

An Idaho hospital is closing its labor and delivery unit, citing the fact that all of their doctors are leaving and they cannot get more because no ob-gyns want to move to Idaho, which has one of the most restrictive anti-abortion laws in the nation.

So all babies from now on will be birthed at home without medical assistance.
Frontier days once again. They probably consider this a win.
