Across the U.S. West, rural residents have historically faced barriers in accessing abortion, such as long travel distances and lack of transportation
FILE - This Jan. 28, 2020, photo shows the Tower theatre located in downtown Bend, Ore. The Planned Parenthood clinic in Bend serving the eastern half of the state, is bracing for an influx of patients particularly from neighboring Idaho, where a trigger law banning most abortions is expected to take effect this summer following the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
Dennis-Cook says her clinic is providing additional training for staff and modifying schedules “to ensure that we can accommodate increases in patient numbers” as more people travel farther for care. Bend's clinic has six exam rooms and receives about 600 visits per month. As it is “on the smaller side,” Dennis-Cook said it is “limited” in what it can provide.
Amidst growing demand for travel funds, NWAAF has already exhausted its planned operating budgets for this year, according to Riley Keane, a Practical Support Lead for the group.
