“In September 2020, Kelsey drove nearly 750 miles round-trip to have an abortion. She was living in a state where there was very little abortion care, and she was concerned about the COVID-19 protocols of the clinic closest to her, 160 miles away. So, she went for the next-best option: a clinic in Colorado. Despite staying with a friend to avoid hotel costs, she said she spent over $700 on travel and the procedure itself.
‘It wasn’t the abortion itself that was awful,’ she said. ‘The abortion was very necessary, and I’m very glad that I was able to have it. It was all of the hurdles that were traumatic.’”
