On June 24, 2022, the United States Supreme Court officially* overturned Roe v. Wade — the landmark 1973 ruling that gave people the right to an abortion before fetal viability.

Individual states can now decide their own abortion laws, including whether or not people can access medication used for abortion or a surgical abortion procedure within state lines.

At the time of this writing, at least 9 states have enacted complete bans on abortion. At least 16 states and U.S. territories are expected to substantially limit abortion access or enact a complete ban on abortion in the coming weeks.

If you’re a person who can become pregnant, know that whatever you might be feeling right now is valid. You aren’t alone, and you do have options, regardless of where you live.
