If you need an abortion in New York City, you probably think you’re lucky: You live in one of the easiest places to get one in America. Though terminating a pregnancy has been outlawed or drastically restricted in 20 states since Roe v.

You likely want to go to Planned Parenthood, where you won’t be judged. You might know the clinic on Bleecker Street, in the orange brick Classic Revival building featured, for years, in countless articles — a location that has trained generations of abortion providers. But that clinic, Manhattan’s only Planned Parenthood, shuttered permanently on Halloween.
