00:00:00.300 --> 00:00:02.160
- What happens to a clinic escort

2
00:00:02.160 --> 00:00:03.430
if they don't have a clinic?

3
00:00:03.430 --> 00:00:06.160
We're starting to see a real seismic shift

4
00:00:06.160 --> 00:00:08.540
from clinic escorting at your local clinic

5
00:00:08.540 --> 00:00:13.410
to practical and logistical
support for abortion.

6
00:00:13.410 --> 00:00:17.270
If you live in one of the likely 26 states

7
00:00:17.270 --> 00:00:19.890
that will criminalize or ban abortion

8
00:00:19.890 --> 00:00:23.270
in a post real world, you
cannot get an abortion

9
00:00:23.270 --> 00:00:25.650
at a clinic in those
states, you just cannot.

10
00:00:25.650 --> 00:00:29.500
So your options are, purchase
medication abortion online.

11
00:00:29.500 --> 00:00:31.230
If you're a marginalized person,

12
00:00:31.230 --> 00:00:33.910
particularly if you're a person of color,

13
00:00:33.910 --> 00:00:36.430
that means possibly exposing yourself

14
00:00:36.430 --> 00:00:38.312
to direct criminalization

15
00:00:38.312 --> 00:00:40.630
and targeting from law enforcement.

16
00:00:40.630 --> 00:00:43.660
So that's an option, or you can
try and travel out of state,

17
00:00:43.660 --> 00:00:45.890
assuming your state hasn't banned that,

18
00:00:45.890 --> 00:00:49.340
which as we have seen in
Missouri recently proposed a bill

19
00:00:49.340 --> 00:00:51.120
that would criminalize

20
00:00:51.120 --> 00:00:53.273
traveling out of state for an abortion.

21
00:00:54.220 --> 00:00:56.560
So clinic escorts in those states

22
00:00:56.560 --> 00:00:59.770
have already started doing
mobilization and work

23
00:00:59.770 --> 00:01:02.780
around finding ways to get patients

24
00:01:02.780 --> 00:01:04.980
from that state to this state.

25
00:01:04.980 --> 00:01:07.610
So the entire Southeast
and much of the Midwest,

26
00:01:07.610 --> 00:01:10.280
except for Illinois, will
become an abortion desert.

27
00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:12.900
So we're going to need a seismic shift

28
00:01:12.900 --> 00:01:17.420
in terms of transportation,
movement, connection.

29
00:01:17.420 --> 00:01:20.900
And there are so many
disparate organizations

30
00:01:20.900 --> 00:01:23.540
that are going to have
to work together here

31
00:01:23.540 --> 00:01:26.773
in order to create a basic
standard of care for these folks.
