The US supreme court’s decision to overturn Roe v Wade in 2022 abolished the national right to abortion, and 14 states have since enacted near-total abortion bans, while three states – Georgia, South Carolina and Florida – have banned abortion past roughly six weeks of pregnancy. Other states have enacted laws or held ballot referendums to protect abortion rights.

We’re interested to hear from people in the US how, if at all, they have been affected by the landmark ruling’s overturning, and how their lives may have changed since.
