(Pregnancy Help News<\/a>) \u2014 As the frontlines for abortion have continued to change leading up to and since the 2022 overturn of\u00a0Roe v. Wade<\/em>, the consideration for the dignity and safety of women who find themselves pondering abortion is fading further and further into oblivion. Troubling developments in abortion commerce are compounding the impact of abortion on women.<\/p>\n

Most abortions now happen in homes, apartments, and dorms absent medical oversight and follow-up and with women facing the fallout on their own. But there are also growing trends in America of abortion tourism and abortions occurring while women are in transit or carrying out other obligations.<\/p>\n

Some troubling examples we hear from women at the\u00a0Abortion Pill Rescue Network<\/a>\u00a0include:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Going to states with expanded abortion access in order to circumvent abortion laws.
\n\u2022 Completing an abortion during a family vacation or work travel, presuming minimal symptoms during the abortion process.
\n\u2022 Obtaining a late abortion with chemicals, laminaria (seaweed), or induced fetal demise (pharmacologic injection prior to the abortion), typically offered in limited locations by few abortion providers.
\n\u2022 Fulfilling work or school duties during their chemical abortion because taking time away is not financially feasible.
\n\u2022 Complying with an abuser who uses abortion to hide criminal activity.<\/p>\n

Abortion tourism<\/strong><\/p>\n

Abortion tourism is increasing at alarming rates.\u00a0Guttmacher<\/a>\u00a0now reports every\u00a0one in five women seeking abortion<\/a>\u00a0are traveling out of state to obtain abortion, compared with\u00a0one in 10 abortion clients<\/a>\u00a0just four years ago.<\/p>\n

Plane tickets, gas cards, and train fare are now shaping the abortion landscape in America.<\/p>\n

The New York Times<\/em>\u00a0reports a staggering\u00a0171,000 women<\/a>\u00a0traveled to another state to obtain their abortions in 2023.<\/p>\n

Abortion tourism has more than doubled in just a four-year period and now makes up a fifth of recorded abortions.<\/p>\n

The New York Times shares the influx of women into blue states seeking abortion access.<\/p><\/div>\n

The reasons behind tourism abortion and abortion in transit<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some women travel due to limitations placed on abortion in their home states. One example of this was following passage of the\u00a0Texas Heartbeat Act<\/a>. Last year\u00a035,000 Texans<\/a>\u00a0drove or flew out of state seeking abortion, primarily traveling to Colorado, Kansas, and New Mexico.<\/p>\n

Sixteen thousand women from Southern states\u00a0obtained abortion<\/a>\u00a0in Illinois. And North Carolina\u00a0received 12,000 women<\/a>\u00a0from South Carolina and Georgia and provided them abortion access.<\/p>\n

This crossing of state lines has reduced some abortion numbers in states with more stringent abortion regulation – but it has increased abortion rates in destination states.<\/p>\n

Traveling during abortion<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some women opt to start their abortions as they travel. They are not working and have been falsely assured that symptoms will be no worse than a heavy period.<\/p>\n

While\u00a0most abortion providers<\/a>\u00a0advise women to undertake\u00a0no travel for at least 24 hours\u00a0<\/a>after the abortion is complete, they also say that \u2018if travel is necessary\u2019 to be sure to locate the nearest emergency care.<\/p>\n

Typically, bleeding begins within one-two hours after misoprostol, the second drug in the two-drug chemical abortion regimen. Some women experience heavy bleeding and pass large clots (the size of a lemon). However, since Big Abortion commonly minimizes the description of what happens during a chemical abortion, some women believe they can get on a plane or a bus even during the chemical abortion process.<\/p>\n

Shipping abortion drugs to a location of your choice<\/strong><\/p>\n

Abortion tourism also includes shipping abortion pills to a hotel in instances where the woman wants to have more privacy away from parents, children, their partner or husband.\u00a0Telemed<\/a>\u00a0and abortion website orders can be delivered wherever the purchaser designates, such as a P.O. Box, UPS or FedEx pick-up location, dorm, or campus mail center.<\/p>\n

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)\u00a0continues to warn consumers<\/a>\u00a0about ordering the abortion pill through the mail and does not recommend purchasing mifepristone (the first chemical abortion drug) outside of the drug\u2019s\u00a0REMS safety standards<\/a>\u00a0(reserved \u201cfor certain medications with serious safety concerns\u201d<\/a>) \u2013 e.g., buying it online or personally transporting it from a foreign country.\u00a0These warnings<\/a> go\u00a0out the window taking women’s safety and dignity with them as Big Abortion feigns safety and promotes abortion at all costs absent accountability.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Illinois is seeing more out-of-state patients from more states than any other after putting millions of dollars into drawing women there.<\/p>\n

Just in the last two years, Illinois has\u00a0invested $23 million<\/a>\u00a0into expanding abortion access and so-called reproductive health care. Abortion providers in Illinois have increased their facility hours and staffing to accommodate the flood of women heading north for their abortions.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Chicago Abortion Fund<\/a>\u00a0provides $880 to each woman seeking an abortion in Illinois, an increase from $545 in 2022, thanks to donations and a grant from the city of Chicago amounting to a staggering $1,000,000 each year.<\/p>\n

The \u201cabortion underground\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cHey Jane\u201d and others peddling abortion have normalized abortion travel while at the same time offering abortion from the \u201ccomfort and convenience of your phone.\u201d They offer tips about how to take time off from work, paying for the abortion, travel accommodations, and preparing for the abortion while away from home. Calling themselves the \u201cabortion underground<\/a>,\u201d they aid in the transport of women away from their homes and families to abort their children…<\/p>\n
