It's true that abortion is technically legal in all 50 states. However, this does not equate to all women in those states having access to abortion providers.
Wyoming has only 3 abortion providers for the entire state (granted it's a low population, but it's quite a large area), and in that state, 96% of women do not have an abortion provider in their county. In Mississippi, 91% of women do not have an abortion provider in their county. If you're poor and don't live near a provider, good luck finding the money to get to one, assuming that you can pay for the procedure itself (some states don't have Medicaid funding for abortions).

It's not making abortion illegal, but it's the next best thing, de facto.
