On June 24th, 2022, the United States Supreme Court issued a decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization that overruled Roe v. Wade and eliminates the federal constitutional right to abortion. This decision leaves laws related to abortion access up to individual states. The immediate impact has been a ban of abortion in several states with more bans and restrictions likely to come.

Legal Momentum knows that access to abortion is critical to a pregnant person's ability to make decisions about their own body and their future. Abortion is essential healthcare and a fundamental human right. We know abortion bans will not eliminate abortion, they will simply make it harder, and potentially less safe, for people to access reproductive healthcare. 

We have compiled a list of resources to assist any person, regardless of where they live, with information about accessing abortion and other reproductive healthcare services. This list is non-exhaustive and will be updated on a regular basis.

If you have additional questions on what this decision might mean for you or your ability to access reproductive healthcare, please reach out to our Syms Legal Momentum Gender Equality Helpline at (1-800-649-0297) or Help@LMHelpline.org.
