Washington state providers preparing for out-of-state patients seeking abortion

Washington state healthcare providers are expecting to see an influx of patients seeking abortion services who are coming from other states.

A Seattle-area OBGYN Dr. Charlie Browne said just hours after the Supreme Court's ruling to overturn federal abortion protections, he was flooded with calls from out-of-state patients seeking an abortion.

Browne said he’s received death threats in the days before the Supreme Court's official ruling, but said the decision’s impacts are too important not to speak out.

“Just within the first few hours of clinic after the SCOTUS announcement, we probably saw an increase of about 25% of calls from patients who were outside of Washington state,” Browne said.

We will soon be surrounded on three sides by anti-abortion states (the fourth side is Canadian wilderness) if Wisconsin's old law kicks in, and clinics are gearing up.
