As funding dries up, private abortion clinics across the US are closing

Since the fall of Roe in 2022, 76 clinics have shuttered and the initial surge of donations is now falling short

Providing abortions rarely paid the bills for Kwajelyn Jackson in 2024.

As the executive director of Feminist Women’s Health Center, an abortion clinic in Atlanta, Georgia, Jackson spent the year navigating Georgia’s six-week abortion ban, dwindling financial support for abortion patients and soaring inflation. The clinic spent more money than it brought in from providing abortions, especially as Jackson strove to pay her staffers a decent wage and the clinic often subsidized the abortions of patients who could not afford to pay.
