Restrictive abortion laws have consequences that reach far beyond state lines:
are advocating for abortion rights nationwide, and the American Civil Liberties Union and Planned Parenthood Federation of America are tirelessly fighting these proposed bans in court. But the improbability of these bans going into effect doesn’t provide as much comfort as one would hope.on abortion access. They represent a steady onslaught that could essentially strip some states of safe and legal abortion, even if the specific restrictions above are never enacted.
“[Some] states are shifting the responsibility of ensuring women can exercise their constitutionally protected right to safe, accessible abortion care onto their neighboring states,” The Very Reverend Katherine Ragsdale, interim president of theNAF offers financial assistance to people who have trouble accessing abortions and they also provide things like legal or financial aid and continuing education to abortion providers.
“We’ve seen people come from as far away as Mississippi for care at our Kansas and Oklahoma centers,” Julie Burkhart, CEO of Trust Women, a health clinic with locations in Wichita, Oklahoma City, and Seattle, tells SELF. “If states around us are allowed to put more restrictions, I can’t tell how many people we would be serving, but it would be more.”
Burkhart and her team at Trust Women’s Kansas clinic know this well, she says. According to a preliminary report from the, it’s estimated that in 2018 about 47 percent of people seeking abortion care in Kansas traveled from Missouri. If that out-of-state number goes up significantly, the number of providers will need to go up too.
