“Distance prevents a lot of people from reaching providers,” says Myers, often times because they lack the money for travel, child care, and they can’t afford to miss work and lose wages.
I hope the Democrats hammer away at every single Republican on abortion rights and reproductive healthcare over the next election cycle.
Unfortunately, the only “hammering” most of the democrats are doing is fearmongering-to-donate to their campaign.

This is a summary of the posted article (I’m a bot).
A year ago this week, the Supreme Court overturned the constitutional right to abortion. Dozens of reproductive health clinics have shuttered, and hospitals and doctors that used to provide abortion have stopped. Some states have strengthened abortion rights and new clinics that offer abortions have opened – some of them strategically placed in cities that border states with abortion bans. But as these maps show, access to abortion care has declined dramatically in the U.S. The states that have huge declines in access are Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, Oklahoma.
