How some providers work around abortion bans since Roe v. Wade was overturned:
Penalties for performing abortions in states with bans vary and can include paying a significant fine, loss of a medical license or even a prison sentence.Meanwhile, organizations and providers have come up with ways they say can help patients access reproductive care without breaking any of the new laws in place.
Bottles of the drug misoprostol sit on a table at the West Alabama Women's Center in Tuscaloosa, Ala. , March 15, 2022.Abortions can resume for at least five weeks while the case is considered by an appeals court, but one abortion clinic said it has a workaround if abortions are nearly or totally banned in the state.that patients who wish to end their pregnancy in the first trimester will have an ultrasound appointment at the clinic.
"If somebody receives a telehealth consultation from a provider who is legally authorized to practice in the state where [the provider] is and [the patient] actually goes into that state to receive the medications, essentially they received an abortion in that state where the telemedicine appointment happened," she told ABC News.She said legal questions only arise if somebody living in a state with abortion restrictions has medication abortion pills mailed to them.
"So before the decision, outside of our bi-state area represented just about 4% of the patients that we saw, regularly," she told ABC News. "And now, in the three months since the decision, the proportion of folks we see from outside of that bi-state area is more than 40%. So we've seen a significant increase in the number of folks we're seeing traveling really long distances to access to basic reproductive health care.
"Essentially what those mobile abortion clinics are doing is making it easier for people to go to another state, that they don't have to go all the way into the state, they can go to the border of their state and be able to return quickly," said Diaz-Tello. "This is still lawful for people to leave the state to seek abortion care."
