The Impact of Roe v. Wade's Repeal on Abortion Access and Women's Rights.

Carbondale, Illinois, a small town in a conservative, rural area, has become a symbol of abortion rights in America after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. The town is accessible to five states where abortions are banned or otherwise unavailable, and now has two clinics with a third expected to open soon. These clinics are the closest source of abortion care for over a million women from surrounding areas that effectively live in abortion deserts. Women have to travel long distances and face protestors, but are being helped by abortion funds. The movement of clinics across state lines is just one part of a landscape of access that's still unfolding in a lot of ways.
