The geography of abortion access in the United States
by Robert T. Gonzalez
Forty years after the Supreme Court's landmark Roe v. Wade decision, The Daily Beast's Michael Keller and Allison Yarrow have published this interactive map of America's 724 abortion clinics, highlighting, among other things, the distance women across the country must travel in order to visit one.
Points of interest include Wichita, Kansas (which has been without an abortion clinic since the murder of 2009 abortion provider George Tiller), the last clinic in Mississippi, and what Keller and Yallow describe as "the Panhandle-Dakota Divide".

Maybe it's better than some recent news articles have painted it.

I know for a fact there is a clinic here in town, it tells me the closest is 60 miles away.
