With abortion access increasingly restricted across much of the South and Midwest, two Illinois clinics near St. Louis announced Friday that they set up a logistics center to help abortion seekers get to their clinics and help them pay for it.
The announcement came on the eve of the 49th anniversary of the Supreme Court s Roe v. Wade decision that established a nationwide right to abortion. Activists on both sides of the debate over abortion rights are convinced that the landmark ruling is imperiled, with nearly two dozen states likely to impose sweeping bans if the conservative-led court overturns it.
