Dr Rebecca Gomperts made waves providing abortion in international waters around the world. Now she’s prepared to help American women

It’s Sunday morning, less than a week after the US supreme court signaled that it was ready to pave the way for new restrictions on abortion rights in the US, and I’m on the phone with a Dutch abortion provider who has watched the proceedings from half a world away.

Dr Rebecca Gomperts tells me that she’s shocked with the situation in Texas, which recently enacted a near total ban on legal abortion – not because the state government passed the law, but because doctors in the state are largely complying with it.

“I would have thought that all these clinics would have said, ‘We’ll just do it,’” she tells me.
