As South bans abortion, thousands turn to Illinois clinics -
The clinic’s waitlist for abortions has only grown from two days to nearly three weeks after the Supreme Court ruling last June - even after staffers started working 10-hour shifts and they opened the clinic on Saturdays.
“Any additional decision has the potential to really change demand again,” she said. “It’s like crisis management every day of the year.” Now, about 70 women call the center every day for help getting to an abortion clinic in southern Illinois, said Kawanna Shannon, the director of patient access at the Planned Parenthood clinic. When they reach the line, a navigator first goes over what they can pay toward their abortion.
Two hours south of the Planned Parenthood clinic, two new abortion clinics opened in Carbondale, Illinois, late last year to give women living in banned states a closer option. Most patients coming to the Fairview Heights clinic are no longer from the region, either. During the final six months of last year, the clinic saw 2,042 abortion patients from outside of Missouri or Illinois - up from just 314 the six months before.
