Where is abortion legal? In red states, women navigate a chaotic landscape

LA Times  

Head nurse Francia Webb talks to a client about abortion options at the West Alabama Women’s Center in Tuscaloosa on March 14. “This is absolutely a historic setback — a major failure for all women across the United States,” said Diane Derzis, the owner of Mississippi’s last remaining abortion provider, Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the clinic at the center of the Supreme Court case. “This is just not a light switch,” said Nash, noting that Roe’s fall does not automatically establish a nationwide abortion ban. “They want to hear from their attorneys what it means and from any state officials about how it’s going to be implemented.” In states where abortion laws will take some sorting out in the courts, experts said it probably will be settled within months. “To take a week off to be able to travel to Chicago, that’s not something they’ll be able to do.” While many national organizations are focused on opening clinics and bolstering abortion coverage in blue states, experts expect so-called haven states will find it increasingly difficult to absorb all those patients as more red states outlaw abortion.
