Thank you for the comment; you are absolutely correct. One study found that in 2014, women in North Dakota lived a median distance of 152 miles from a physician who can perform an abortion, compared to 5 miles in California. This same study found that over 50% of women in North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wyoming have to travel over 90 miles. Many states require a waiting period, ranging from 24 hours to 72 hours as well.

I recently had a conversation with a colleague who said, “The idea of a ‘safe’ abortion is ironic when you consider the other patient involved. Do no harm.”

I thought this was an interesting perspective.
