BRISTOL, Va. - The women's health clinic in Bristol, Tennessee, had a seemingly simple solution to continue providing abortions after its home state banned the procedure this summer: It moved a mile up the road to Bristol, Virginia, where abortion remained legal.Bristol Women's Health has faced logistical hurdles, legal concerns and local opposition since opening in late July across the state line, which runs through the cities' shared main street.
Abortion is still allowed in Virginia through the second trimester and into the third in limited circumstances. In a recent poll https://wilder.vcu.edu/news-and-events/news-articles/commonwealth-poll-virginians-disapprove-of-president-biden-but-satisfied-with-status-of-virginias-abortion-laws-.html of state residents, half said they believed the state's abortion laws were reasonable and should not be altered.
She said when she learned of its move to Virginia, her group distributed hundreds of flyers around the new clinic's neighborhood. "That’s certainly a concern," said Derzis, who also owns a clinic in Richmond, Virginia. "The hope is that women can speak for themselves on Election Day." The doctor who performed abortions at the Tennessee clinic is not currently doing so in Virginia due to the possible legal risks, Derzis said. He still provides other gynecological services in Tennessee, she said. Reuters could not reach him for comment.
