Thank you for bringing together all that's been happening into one clear update. Something to consider is this - it's not a OB/GYN desert... it's OB/GYN apartheid. Why? Because 'desert' sounds like a nature-made landscape while 'apartheid' is a political system of oppression. And that's what is happening in anti-abortion states right now: politics is intruding into health care systems to drive out OB/GYNs. This is dangerous, regardless of the word, but I'm going to call it what it is.

You're spot on (as always!) Kate, thank you!!
