Michigan faces a key vote on abortion rights as patients travel there from other states. At a clinic near Detroit, many women share what abortion access means for their own lives and futures.
At Northland, the pills for medication abortions are prescribed and dispensed in the morning, while the afternoon is dedicated to the surgical procedures.
You may feel some strong cramping and intense pressure, Lance tells her patient,"but I know you can do it." Sitting in the waiting area, this patient talked about how hard the journey to Northland had been. How she hid it from her mom at first, until her aunties threatened to tell her mom if she didn't do it herself. How her mom was surprisingly supportive, getting up early with her that morning, and making sure she ate a good breakfast before her appointment.
"The guys, they're never held responsible for things like this, ever," she says."It's always the woman. We always got to step up and take care of it. Whether we keep it or not, it's always put in our lap."
