Despite financial, legal and political obstacles, many clinics in states that have banned abortion have pivoted, continuing to provide essential reproductive health services such as contraceptives, STI testing and treatment, and routine gynecological exams, with some expanding to deliver prenatal and gender-affirming care. In addition, new clinics have opened in states like Wyoming and Maryland where abortion remains legal.
'Before Dobbs, when we were still providing abortions, we set aside $300,000 because we knew that if we could no longer offer abortion care, we'd have to navigate the state bureaucracy to shift to other work,' she said. 'During that time, we expected to have no income.'
