It's likely to get worse. Up to half of all states may ban abortion.

Did you click on the source link? Utah, Arizona, and Wyoming (and Wisconsin) all have a black border indicating "illegal with exceptions" (which are not based on time), but have a different color inside, representing a ban based on time. The caption then explains that "a colored border indicates a more stringent restriction or ban that is blocked by legal injunction or trigger provision".

The second caveat states "Abortion bans in four states are being temporarily blocked by courts." The quiz is based on the more stringent ban that would exist if it wasn't being temporarily blocked by courts. (In other words, the ban that is based on legislation. The de jure ban, not the de facto ban.)

Hopefully it will be all 50 soon. This genocide needs to end.

Genocide means murder of an entire gene, meaning a race. As far as I'm aware, there is no racial component to abortion, and no race has been wiped out through abortion.
