History

Historical Context

The 1973 Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade ended state regulation of first-trimester abortions nationwide. The Court reversed that protection with Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization in 2022, returning authority to the states and prompting nationwide protests such as the 2019 #StoptheBans rallies. The shifting legal landscape continues to drive major fundraising and advocacy by Planned Parenthood.
