Planned Parenthood is launching its first-ever mobile abortion clinic in the country.
"Increasing our capacity to see more patients in Missouri and Illinois is helping combat multiple public health crises — from health care provider shortages, rising STI rates, worsening Black maternal mortality rates, and abortion bans across the south and Midwest," said Dr. Colleen McNicholas, chief medical officer of Planned Parenthood of the St. Louis Region and Southwest Missouri.
McNicholas said that she has provided care for people from across the country who traveled to southern Illinois since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. Planned Parenthood reports that a clinic near the Missouri-Illinois border has seen a 30% spike in abortion patients and wait times for an appointment went from four days to more than 2 weeks.Report a typo

Wade earlier this year. The announcement came 100 days after the Supreme Court ruling that stripped away constitutional protections for abortions, allowing states to ban the procedure. Illinois didn't institute an abortion ban, but neighboring Missouri, Kentucky and Tennessee did, along with several other states in the South and Midwest.
