The American South
Laurie Bertram Roberts has devoted years to helping people navigate the complexities of accessing abortion care in the Deep South.
It’s a part of the country frequently described by reproductive rights advocates as an abortion desert since clinics are few.
There are only nine in Mississippi, Alabama, and Louisiana combined.
Add to this the intricate web of legal restrictions on abortion care that vary from state to state, making the process cumbersome for patients.
Then there’s the financial cost, which abortion funds, like the Yellowhammer Fund in Alabama, help patients cover.
Roberts is the executive director of the organization in Alabama, which helps patients pay for procedures and other associated costs, including travel expenses and childcare.

Autism can affect any family, regardless of skin color, wealth or religion. During the past 15 years, the rate of children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder has grown from 1 in 166 children in 2004 to 1 in 54 today.
Boys are four times as likely to be diagnosed with autism as girls. There is no evidence that autism prevalence differs across race or ethnicity, but Black and Latino children and those with limited resources are often underdiagnosed and diagnosed later than their counterparts. This makes it more likely that the services they need will be accessed later and opportunities for early intervention will be missed.
