After the abortion ruling in the USA, more and more donations are being made to organizations that support women with abortions.
The AFP news agency reports that 40 times more donations were received within 24 hours than is normally the case in one day, citing the organization Planned Parenthood (planned parenthood).
More than half of the money came from new donors, Vice President Kelley Robinson said.
She expressed her belief that opposition to the court decision and support for her family planning organization will continue.
"This is just the beginning, we won't give up," said Robinson.
The Supreme Court on Friday overturned the 1973 abortion landmark ruling dubbed Roe v.
Wade” had made history.
This means that the individual states are now free to allow, restrict or ban abortion altogether.
At least eight conservative-governed states immediately imposed abortion bans.
At the same time, there were protests in countless cities against the judges' decision.
