US launches mobile abortion factories Source: (https://bit.ly/3Tvm7xJ) Reproductive health giant Planned Parenthood will bring a mobile abortion clinic to red-state borders to assist women legally barred from obtaining the procedure. The clinic will operate in southern Illinois and travel along the border between neighboring Kentucky and Missouri, whose legislatures have passed near total bans. Missouri specifically banned abortion with no exceptions for cases of rape or incest immediately after the Supreme Court threw out the legal right to an abortion in June, in what's known as a trigger law. In Kentucky, abortion is illegal from the point of fertilization - unless the woman is at risk of death or serious permanent injury with no exceptions for rape or incest. Bans across a wide swath of Republican states have compelled women to travel hundreds of miles to an abortion rights-friendly state. The mobile clinic will significantly reduce the amount of travel time that women coming from red states have to allot for when planning to leave the state for the procedure.
