A new Maryland abortion provider is opening next to deeply conservative West Virginia, where state lawmakers recently passed a near-total abortion ban
The number of clinics providing abortions in those 15 states dropped from 79 to 13 by October of last year, with the remaining clinics in Georgia.
“Our communities deserve better — people should be able to access abortion care without delay or barriers,” she said. Since January 2022, the clinic's abortion fund has distributed $150,000 for more than 800 people, mostly West Virginia residents. A closer clinic in Hagerstown is open for abortions during limited hours a few times a month. It provides first-trimester abortions only and doesn’t accept Maryland Medicaid — a barrier to low-income patients, Quiñonez said. Otherwise, patients must travel more than 100 miles to Pittsburgh or even further, to Baltimore or Washington, D.C.
