“We’re seeing the bottleneck effect of the Dobbs decision: There’s limited capacity no matter where you are.”
So on June 16, Traxler met with her last patient of the day and apologized in advance if she got emotional during their appointment. In that moment, all she could think about was the fact that “the state of things for people who live in South Dakota is going to just get worse and worse.” South Dakota is one of eight states that fully banned abortion after last month’s Supreme Court decision; four more states have six-week bans in effect.
As the chief medical officer for Planned Parenthood North Central States, Traxler oversees medical care, including abortion, in five Midwest states: Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, and South Dakota. In the last six weeks, even before trigger bans went into effect ending abortion access in South Dakota and North Dakota, access was barely hanging on in Nebraska and in Iowa .
But on some level, Traxler understands the appeal of the anti-abortion right’s narrative — when she was younger she even subscribed to it. Every Sunday, in the entrance hall of the Southern Baptist church that Traxler attended, there was a small table with a big sign that read: “Abortion is Murder.”
