The overturning of Roe v Wade had a lasting impact on people across the world, with democrats and women now eager to take back their freedom of choice. But Kansas's vote on abortion showed that even a large number of Republicans are Pro-choice.

Women's healthcare takes a blow

Due to the abortion bans in many U.S. States, healthcare students have no way to get educated about conducting safe abortion procedures. This will have huge repercussions for women's healthcare and medical education.

Fighting to protect abortion rights

Seattle's Mayor, Bruce Harrell, strengthened abortion protection in the city by signing four bills in support of reproductive rights and gender affirming care. Organisations like Pro-choice Washington are trying to take this protection further across the country.
