The Supreme Court has voted to overturn Roe v Wade. Now, millions of Americans are turning to abortion funds as a last chance to protect abortion access in the United States.
On 24 June, the nation’s highest court struck down a 50-year precedent set by Roe v Wade when it issued a ruling in the 2018 case Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health Organization. The Supreme Court voted in favour of the state of Mississippi blocking abortion at 15 weeks of pregnancy, deciding that there is no constitutional right to abortion despite decades of federal protections for abortion access since 1973.
