"The fall of Roe v. Wade resulted in a patchwork of state laws, increasing abortion access challenges despite some reopening of clinics in more permissive states."
"The recent decline in abortion clinic closures raises concerns, especially as funding from Title X faces cuts, affecting services for low-income individuals."
The overturning of Roe v. Wade in 2022 has resulted in a complex landscape for abortion access in the U.S., with 13 states enacting total bans and others imposing six-week restrictions. Since then, 105 clinics have closed, 65 of which are in more permissive states due to financial difficulties. While initial financial support surged in 2022, it has since dwindled, exacerbating the challenges faced by clinics dependent on federal funds. Despite the closures, there are some positive developments, such as clinics re-opening and the FDA relaxing rules regarding the abortion pill, mifepristone.
