Abortions at Kansas clinics rose 36% after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade — and the number of Kansans ordering abortion pills from overseas doubled.
WICHITA, Kansas — In August alone, hundreds more women sought abortions in Kansas than before the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and many nearby states banned the procedure.
That represents one of the most significant increases in abortion numbers in the country, reflecting the deep-red state’s unlikely role as an abortion refuge in a region now increasingly devoid of other options.

..."Aid Access is run by a Dutch doctor using an Austrian medical license. It’s the only organization that ships abortion pills to U.S. states with abortion bans. Legal experts say it’s not illegal for Kansans to use the service because the state’s telemedicine abortion ban only applies to doctors, not patients.
More Kansans could be turning to the service, said Aiken, because it’s harder to get appointments at their local clinics. But she said the rise could partly stem from the fact that even before the fall of Roe, abortion was relatively hard to access for people in many parts of Kansas, who might live hundreds of miles from the nearest clinic.
“Though the Dobbs decision has changed state laws, it’s also the case that it hasn’t been easy for people to access abortion from most states for quite some time,” she said. “Abortion bans … draw attention to other ways of obtaining abortion care. Some people are discovering, ‘I can actually do this in my own home.’”
