9 million US women (of reproductive age) now live 200+ miles from the nearest abortion clinic. When they need an abortion, they’re forced to navigate not just highways & airports, but also: how to miss work without losing their jobs; who will watch their children; how they'll afford to travel?

Cutting $20 billion to NIH over 25 years may save $500 billion on paper, but it’d end up costing $8.2 trillion in lost human health.
