Abortion providers predicted that the reversal of Roe v. Wade would cause an influx of out-of-state patients.
New data and clinic reports show they were right.
Two months after an abortion ban went into effect in Idaho, medical clinics in Washington are reporting an increase in patients crossing the border for care.
At Planned Parenthood's Clinic in Pullman, for example, 78% of patients in July came from Idaho.
In Idaho, relatives of a person who terminates a pregnancy can legally sue abortion providers and patient concerns around legal action and privacy have been coming up more frequently.
At their Spokane clinic, Planned Parenthood has also seen patients from other states, Florida and Texas, which they rarely saw before the reversal of Roe v. Wade.
