Saturday marks one year since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade– the 1973 decision that legalized abortion in the U.S.

Since the Supreme Court’s divided decision in the case Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the nation has seen major changes to abortion access.

The ruling gave individual states the power to set their own individual abortion policy.
