It’s been over three months since the Supreme Court took a fundamental right away from women. In that time: 1. Sixty-six clinics in 15 states have stopped providing abortions. According to the Guttmacher Institute, “Prior to June 24, these 15 states had a total of 79 clinics that provided abortion care. As of October 2, that number had dropped to 13, and all of them are located in Georgia.” If you don’t think Stacy Abrams election is important, just read that sentence again. By the way, in a nod to the incredible resilience of these clinics, some have remained open offering other reproductive health care. For instance, 4 out of the 5 clinics in Alabama have remained open and are providing reproductive health care other than abortions.
I absolutely love your summary - and also the emphasis for journalists to move away from the old narrative of going underground. I heard about the New Yorker piece on NPR - so it is moving through the journalism echo-chamber and to your point - this is helping a small fraction of pregnant people seeking care.
