TUCSON, Ariz. — It has been nearly a year since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned about 50 years of nationwide abortion rights. What’s called the Dobbs decision replaced Roe vs Wade and sent authority for abortion law back to the states. So how have people for and against abortions rights adjusted to the new landscape?
“So when the Dobbs decision came down and Roe vs Wade was overturned, you know, there was just like an immediate upheaval. We had immediately patients across the state contacting us panicked, not knowing what the legal status of abortion was in Arizona” “In 2021, we spent about $38,000 in the whole year on abortion funding. In 2022, we spent about 140,000. And currently we're on track to spend probably about 250 to 275 thousand this year, and that's all from donations from people in our community and across the country.”
That’s led to a shift of resources toward the cost of transporting abortion seekers to states that allow abortions later in pregnancy.
