Some 171,300 patients traveled out-of-state for abortions last year, new data estimates from the Guttmacher Institute show. State abortion bans that took effect in the post-Roe era have severely curbed access to reproductive care across the U.S.
More than one million clinician-provided abortions took place in states without a total ban in 2023 — the first full year after Roe v. Wade was overturned. That’s the highest number in more than a decade.
Out-of-state travel for abortions, including for the procedure or to obtain abortion pills, more than doubled from 2020 to 2023.

If you think like that, you already lost.
You read that article quickly. Within 30 seconds of me posting it, in fact.
I am already well aware that Republican states of the US are heavily gerrymandered. The GOP would no longer be an issue in most places without that.
But you think that somehow just getting out the vote will fix the issue?
