Abortion clinics are already preparing to shift people and resources away from red states, in anticipation of the U.S. Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade.
The other side: Blue states — including California, Oregon, Minnesota, Maryland and Massachusetts — are taking steps to prepare for a potential influx in patients seeking abortion care if Roe falls.
Many abortion providers "are planning to move or travel to places where they will be able to continue to care for patients," Alhambra Frarey, an OB-GYN in Pennsylvania and a fellow with Physicians for Reproductive Health, said in a statement.
* That means there is likely going to be a "saturation" of abortion providers in urban areas, particularly in blue states, said Iman Alsaden, the medical director of Planned Parenthood of Great Plains, which covers Kansas, Arkansas, Missouri and Oklahoma.
"We have been preparing preemptively for this decision for a long time," said Sarah Traxler, the chief medical officer of Planned Parenthood North Central States (PPNCS), which covers: Iowa Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota. She is also an abortion provider in St. Paul.
* "We know that there are certain places in the country where we need to shore up access and make sure that we have space available for patients coming from all over."
* She expects to see a 10% to 25% increase in demand for services in Minnesota, where access to abortion is protected by a 1995 state Supreme Court decision.

Very little will change. Some of these states don’t have an abortion clinic so what changes? Nothing. This might help Dems in GA which isn’t nearly as conservative as it pretends to be. Not that Abrams needed help at the ballot box
actually as it stands most of these states have one clinic left standing. after roe that clinic will have to shut down.
Then there is the gas prices courtesy of our Fearless Leader don’t forget to take that into account.
It’s not a shortage of clinics they will experience. Their problem has been a shortage of doctors willing to spend their days doing abortions.
If they get more abortionists, they will just go on shifts, with one doing days and the other doing evenings and weekends
Many abortion providers “are planning to move or travel to places where they will be able to continue to care for patients,”
Should read; “where they are able to continue to murder babies”.
Well, as long as they’re not “abortionists.”
Yes, Lord! Sort 'em out! Let the rest of us live in peace!
