Many Florida women can't get abortions past 6 weeks. Where else can they go?

Since Florida enacted a six-week abortion ban, clinics in several other Southern and mid-Atlantic states have sprung into action. They know women impacted by the Florida change last week will look to them for services no longer available where they live. In North Carolina, health care clinics are rushing to expand availability and decrease wait times. Their reaction is part of a growing trend in the U.S. Since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June 2022, more than 20 states have adopted laws banning or severely limiting abortions. In response, states with looser restrictions have taken steps to welcome women who want or need to end their pregnancies.
