The Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade Friday morning, ending a nearly 50-year constitutional right to abortion. The decision will make it harder for people, specifically those who are low-income and people of color, to have access to abortions.
The decision also puts the abortion clinics, who offer many other health services, at risk of closure.
Abortion clinics have housed many free services including pregnancy testing, cancer screenings, birth control, emergency contraceptives, and more.
