The Heavy Cost of Abortion Bans | Avery | Planned Parenthood Video

Since the Supreme Court took away the constitutional right to abortion, millions of people are forced to travel outside of their state for abortion care, resulting in overwhelming costs. Avery, a college student in Shreveport, Louisiana, realized she was pregnant after missing their period. Abortion is banned in Louisiana, so Avery had to travel out of state, with the nearest available abortion appointment over 500 miles away. The cost of lodging, food, transportation and the abortion procedure itself could end up costing them over $1,000, which is a significant amount of money for a student.
