State laws restricting abortion access have led to the shuffling of medical equipment from Planned Parenthood clinics, with some equipment being sent to states with greater access to abortion. The patchwork of laws has caused patients to travel between states to access care, with many coming to Kansas, where access is protected by the state constitution. Despite bans in 14 states, an increase in clinician-provided abortions has been seen in states without bans. Organizations providing abortion care have seen increased demand, with some reporting up to a 10% increase in call volume after new bans. Telehealth and increased awareness have contributed to the rise in abortions.
