As discourse about limiting abortion access has gained volume over the past few years, so have the number of legislative restrictions aimed at preventing people from seeking abortions. Among these are laws and policies targeted at reducing the number of providers and clinics providing abortion care, resulting in an absence of training, high case volume, and institutional restrictions.
