The Scarcity of Abortion Providers

If you need an abortion, be prepared to travel.

The far-right is winning the war against reproductive freedom.

Nearly nine in 10 (87 percent) of U.S. counties, home to more than one-third of women of reproductive age, lacked any abortion providers, according to a 2011 study. Nearly all non-metropolitan counties (97 percent), and roughly seven in 10 metropolitan counties lacked a provider. There are 26 states where 90 percent of counties lack an abortion provider.

Fact. The Republicans are making it nearly impossible to exist as a woman of reproductive age in way too many states. It's nightmarish to consider where this will all lead.
