There are plans to build a large clinic in the southern part of the state, mostly to accept women from slave states like Texas and GA.
There are options and many of them won't break the bank.
Eventually, there will be a pipeline to a black market for abortion inducing pills, with travel plans as a backup in case counterfeit pills are out there.
We are not going back to lying on a kitchen table while someone punctures our uterus with a filthy crochet hook.
