Since Texas passed a six-week abortion bill in September, people have headed to Oklahoma seeking care. Now, that state is poised to pass its own abortion ban.
If care is unavailable in Oklahoma, it’s not entirely clear where people will go or who will have capacity. Kansas, just north of Oklahoma, has four clinics. Arkansas, to the east, has three. Both have already been seeing a surge in patients coming from Texas. And access in those states is tenuous, too. Kansas voters are weighing a constitutional amendment this August that would remove the state’s abortion protections.
There is another pressure point for Colorado, specifically. Idaho has also enacted a Texas-inspired six-week ban. For patients seeking care, and who can afford the airfare, Boulder or Denver — cities with direct flights to Boise and Idaho Falls – could be the most viable option. “What’s going to happen in Oklahoma, it will very likely increase our volume,” said Dr. Eve Espey, who chairs the OB-GYN department at the University of New Mexico and founded its center for reproductive health. “There are only three clinics in Albuquerque that provide abortion care, so there’s a limit. We’re talking about how we can ramp up more. We thought we’d have more medication abortion, and that’s not happening.
