Of course!

(Also very impressed that they edited out all my "um"s)

The need to make *open code* especially intelligible for it to be actually useful for understanding what people did reminds me of this older post from Dan Simpson on Gelman's blog - which I remember setting off a lot of discussion at the time!

All of the data is available (along with monthly counts through March 2025) on our website! And I want to give a huge thanks to the providers who give us data, in addition to providing critical care - this work literally would not be possible without them. www.guttmacher.org/monthly-abor...

Much of this travel wouldn't be possible with abortion funds, practical support organizations and providers working in concert to support patients - moving mountains to get people to care - and providing that support has only gotten harder as the distances people need to travel increase.

Florida's ban had ripple effects across the Southeast because in 2023 it was one of the few places where people could access in-clinic care after six weeks. In 2023, more than 1,800 Louisianans had abortions in Florida; in 2024, fewer than 500 did (and most before the ban went in effect in May).

And we saw similar increases in travel to North Carolina, despite the 12 week ban and 72-hour waiting period in effect in that state.

More than ten times more people traveled from Florida to Virginia to access abortion care in 2024 as compared to 2023, for example - despite it being hundreds of miles away.

But we also captured big changes, particularly in the Southeast, where Florida's six week ban led to many more people traveling out of state for care.
