Life Post-Roe
Planned Parenthood will begin operating a mobile clinic in Illinois near St. Louis, MO, which will offer examinations and dispense pills for abortions. Illinois has become a regional destination for abortion in the region. Later the clinic may provide surgical abortions as well. There may be other such clinics in the future to operate near red state borders and cut travel time for women who must travel far for abortion care.

Teenagers are turning to long-acting contraceptives, fearing that they will have to give birth if they become pregnant in states that have made (or may make) abortion illegal. Doctors say that both boys and girls are paying more attention when they bring up the subject.

Forty-eight organizations have signed a petition to Danco Labs to add miscarriage management to the approved uses for mifepristone, one of the two drugs used for abortions. We know there have been cases where women have been denied needed care while having a miscarriage because the pill is used for abortions and they might be prosecuted.
