Wade Affect Women’s Rights? ![How Does the Overturning of Roe v. Wade Affect Women’s Rights?](https://lifechoicescenter.org/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Blog-11-graphic-2.jpg)  In 2022, the Supreme Court overturned *Roe v. Wade*, ending the federal right to abortion established in 1973. The court ruled the Constitution did not protect a woman’s right to abortion.  By removing federal protection, women’s access to abortion now depends on various laws in each state. ### How Does This Impact Women’s Healthcare? The Supreme Court’s decision impacted only elective abortions, not medical necessities.    Women should receive treatment for pregnancy complications regardless of location. This includes conditions like miscarriages or ectopic pregnancies and emergencies such as pre-eclampsia.    Even in states limiting abortion, women’s health exceptions typically allow it to save the mother’s life or physical health.    #### Questions About Your Options? Reaching out to a trusted provider can be a good starting place to understand your available pregnancy options. At Life Choices Center, we offer no-cost pregnancy services such as medical-grade pregnancy tests, referrals for onsite, first-trimester ultrasounds, and options consultations.  Our ultrasound services can help you understand how far along you are in your pregnancy, or if you should be concerned about a miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy. Once you have this information, we can answer your questions and guide you through your next steps in your pregnancy journey. If you need a safe, compassionate space for you to weigh your pregnancy options, visit us today. Women should be empowered to make confident, informed choices. [Contact us](https://lifechoicescenter.org/request-appointment)today to schedule an appointment!   ![life choices logo - new](https://lifechoicescenter.org/hubfs/life%20choices%20logo%20-%20new.svg)   **Quick Links** **![Rectangle 13861](https://lifechoicescenter.org/hubfs/Rectangle%2013861.svg)** - [Contact Us](https://lifechoicescenter.org/contact) - [For Donors](https://lifechoicescenter.org/for-donors) - [Get Directions](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Life+Choices+Center/@42.0976629,-75.9206314,16z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x89daef6ced1ac283:0x6736d4bde9ada41!8m2!3d42.0976629!4d-75.9206314!16s%2Fg%2F1tg_mmkm?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MDgxOS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D) - [Request Appointment](https://lifechoicescenter.org/request-appointment) **Here For You** **![Rectangle 13861](https://lifechoicescenter.org/hubfs/Rectangle%2013861.svg)**   Life Choices Center is not a medical facility and does not perform or refer for abortions.
