Abortion bans, similar to the one that went into place in Indiana on Thursday, are having a ripple effect on surrounding states.
INDIANAPOLIS — At the stroke of midnight on September 15, abortion became virtually Illegal in the state of Indiana. However, resource centers, abortion funds and abortion providers have been seeing an influx of people seeking abortion since before the law took effect.
"I talk to people every single day who say I cannot afford to have another baby either because of my health or because I can't afford the children that I already have but I also can’t afford to have an abortion,” Marchbank said. “Or I can't find a way to get to Illinois. The ban that our lawmakers have insisted upon is going to place so many families under undue burden."
"Over the past two months since the decision, about 30 percent of all of the abortion patients that we see at PPIL come from a state outside of Illinois,” Julie Uhal the state abortion expansion program manager for Planned Parenthood Illinois said. b“That’s compared to prior to the decision it was around 6% every month."
The day the abortion ban went into effect, Planned Parenthood Illinois announced they are expanding services at their Champaign Urbana clinic. This clinic will be the closest access point for most Hoosiers seeking an abortion.
