In this piece, our team highlights the experiences and perspectives of those providing and supporting abortion care in North Carolina, following the passage of Senate Bill 20 last July. Participants also spoke to the impact on people seeking abortion care, particularly marginalized populations: 👉 "Ninety-one of our state’s 100 counties don’t have an abortion provider. Generally, you’re traveling anyway, depending on where you are. Now, not only do you have to travel, you have to travel and do this 72-hour wait period that has no clinical benefit. And to put a point on it, if I’m an hourly worker, and remember our minimum wage in [North Carolina] is $7.25 an hour, a day away from wages. . . . That is a crushing experience for someone who is on the margins." Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eWiErrFq Skye Miner, Maria Angela (Maya) Buenaventura, & Maya Rabinowitz
