Over the internet that weren’t available back in the day.
My fear is for women in wanted pregnancies with fetuses that are diagnosed with problems, fatal or even not fatal but would have a poor quality of life. Or adverse results of genetic testing including Downs. This is normally diagnosed too late for a medical abortion. It’s unbelievably inhumane to force her to give birth against her will in any case. Women should consider an underground network providing transportation and funds to legal states (if there are any).
