"With Kentucky’s abortion ban in effect, pregnant patients can’t get an abortion in the state unless their lives are at risk and that’s forcing some to seek care elsewhere.
Out of Kentucky’s seven bordering states, Illinois is one that has abortion protections. In Virgina, there are currently no abortion protections, but the procedure is still legal.
In an effort to better understand what the process is like for those seeking care, I decided to make the journey to an out-of-state abortion provider myself".

..."If a Kentucky resident does have an OB-GYN, Weeder suggests having conversations about what’s important to their specific reproductive healthcare.
“But if you are one of the many Kentuckians without a general practitioner or a gynecologist. These laws are really going to drastically impact your care moving forward because we’re not going to see more providers coming. We’re already seeing providers leaving the state or not coming here.”
The Commonwealth’s near-total abortion ban will remain in effect until the state Supreme Court hears oral arguments over litigation of the ban in November.
Those oral arguments won’t be heard until after the November 8th general election, when Kentuckians will vote on a constitutional amendment deciding whether or not the state constitution provides any right to an abortion."

People will always tend to find what they need and desire! But, need to be cautious of providers!
