Farah Diaz-Tello, Melissa Mikesell, Jill E Adams have posted Roe's Unfinished Promise: Decriminalizing Abortion Once and for All on SSRN.  Here is the abstract: Roe's Unfinished Promise: Decriminalizing Abortion Once and For All is the first comprehensive paper about the criminalization of non-clinical abortion in the U.S. and efforts to eliminate threats, while increasing protections, for people who end pregnancies outside the formal healthcare system.
