Abortion Access and Safety-Net Healthcare Services in Alabama
Once an abortion clinic, it now offers midwives, formula and housing help. The West Alabama Women’s Center has become an unlikely safety-net provider. Once, it was the sole abortion clinic in this half of the state. Then Roe v. Wade fell, the legislature’s near-total ban on the procedure took effect, and the protesters who would mass in the parking lot vanished. Nowadays, the crowd that gathers when word goes out follows the handwritten signs for “FREE STUFF.” Tuscaloosa residents and visitors look for clothing at a giveaway organized by the West Alabama Women’s Center in late March.
