sceeenshot from The Nation: A 29-year-old with light skin and dark hair walks down the hall at Partners, sobbing. She flew here from California, one of the 22 states in the country that ban abortion at or around "viability." In 2022, 67 percent of California voters backed a referendum that blocks the state from interfering in a patient's pregnancy decisions, but a state law banning most abortions after viability still stands. So the patient in the hallway faced a grueling journey from one of the nation's bluest states. First she had to raise close to $20,000 to pay for the abortion itself. At least 90 percent of Partners' uninsured patients cobble this funding together from abortion funds and clinic discounts. Yet by the time she made her decision, raised the money, and flew to Maryland, an ultrasound had put her well past Partners' limit.
