Reproductive Care is Health Care
In North Carolina, 91 counties have no abortion care providers, forcing many people to travel long distances, sometimes for hours, to reach the nearest clinic.
We must ensure that abortions are safe, legal, and ACCESSIBLE for everyone in North Carolina, both now and in the future.
The point about people having to travel for hours highlights how location can influence access to healthcare. Healthcare accessibility is often discussed in terms of availability, but transportation, distance, and regional resources can be just as important.
