What is an Abortion?

Abortions are a medical service that terminates a pregnancy; in other words, they remove an embryo or fetus from the womb.

For nearly 50 years, abortion access was protected on a federal level under Roe v. Wade. However, in 2022, the Supreme Court overturned this decision in the landmark case Dobbs v. Jackson, leaving it up to each state to determine abortion laws. While abortions are still legal in many states, others have either imposed strict gestational limits or banned the practice completely. This has left many women unable to receive the treatment they are seeking, and has also put medical workers in untenable circumstances where they could risk legal repercussions for providing abortion treatment in states where it is banned.
