MOORHEAD, Minn. — At 3 p.m. on June 23, 2022, Tammi Kromenaker signed the paperwork to move her abortion clinic to Minnesota. Seventeen hours later, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.
The Red River Women’s Clinic was North Dakota’s only abortion clinic for more than 20 years. During that time, staff juggled how to operate amid changing state laws, limited local partner support and a challenging physical location.
June 24 marked two years since the Supreme Court’s landmark decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization changed the landscape for abortion policy on the state level. Largely, those working in the abortion ecosystem have reported how their jobs have become more complicated and difficult.
