The most common response Jade Hurley used to get when she told people she works at an abortion fund was something along the lines of: What is that? Now, a year after the repeal of Roe v. Wade and over a dozen states banning abortion across the country, most reply to Hurleys line of work with: Oh, fuck yeah.

The last year has been devastating for abortion rights in the U.S. since the Supreme Court repealed nearly 50 years of precedent in the Dobbs v. Jackson Womens Health Organization ruling. The suffering that Dobbs has brought is hard to comprehend on a national scale. But from something so terrible, so unthinkable, came a full-blown resistance that centered abortion rights in the national conversation.

People like Hurley, the communications manager at DC Abortion Fund , which finances abortion care and is one of the largest such funds in the country, can feel that difference. Public support for abortion has grown louder and more unapologetic, she said.

Shes right: Nearly 70% of Americans a record-high believe abortion should be legal at least through the first trimester of pregnancy, according to a Gallup poll from this month.
