More than 600,000 women received an abortion in 2018 in the U.S., the latest data recorded from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The Supreme Court on Friday overturned Roe v. Wade, and now nearly two dozen states are likely to ban abortions or severely restrict access to the procedure. Thirteen have "trigger laws" that will ban abortion almost immediately, according to an NBC News analysis of data from the Center for Reproductive Rights.

About 700 women in the United States die every year of pregnancy-related complications, and about 3 in 5 of those deaths are preventable, according to CDC data.
