Wade, taking away constitutional protections for abortion which had been in place for nearly half a century. The ruling left it up to states to determine whether the procedure would be legal within their borders. Since then at least 21 states have banned or restricted abortions. Tonight we take you inside a secretive network of pilots and volunteers who help transport women and doctors around the country so they can access legal abortion procedures. And well show you what its like for some women facing a very tough decision. Some of this may be difficult to watch. Hi. Im mike. Either of you ever flown on an airline before . No . When i first started flying, i never imagined that i would be transporting people to get access to Abortion Care. You okay back there . Good. All right. You should be able to hear me now. All right. Airplanes ready to go. Are your seat belts on and secure . This isnt too bad, is it . The Supreme Court has overturned roe v. Wade. Nearly half of all states have either banned or restricted abortions. Many of them are near each other, which means many of the neighboring states also dont have abortions. What we have seen is women will go through whatever hurdle to have a choice, including Traveling Hundreds of miles out of state. This beats taking the train, right . Were finding creative ways that help people get access to Abortion Care. It really is a Community Coming together for people who cant get to the health care they need. If there arent people willing to take risks you can take pictures. Just dont take pictures of me. Then there are going to be people left behind. I hate packing. I always forget something. When the decision happened with roe, it really just felt so defeating. How many sweaters can i fit in this little bitty bag . We had a clinic in san antonio, texas, and then tulsa womens clinic in tulsa, oklahoma. It still makes me sad that, you know, we had to close two clinics. We started seriously talking what can we do . Will we be able to open up clinics somewhere else . So, yeah, today i actually get to fly all the way from san antonio straight to missouri first. Hey, babe. And then from missouri, drive to illinois, To Carbondale. So show me illinois on the maps. Mommy, here. Thats where i got to go back today. I go that. So what do you all think youre going to do for pajama day today . Did you pack an extra change of clothes . What do you want . On top of your Peanut Butter sandwich . I want Peanut Butter crackers. The little ones may not understand, but i think i know my oldest daughter understands, and shes the main reason why were not all moving right now because shes a senior in high school. So it just made sense for her and everyone to stay. I know its hard having to move away and stuff. It wont be home here. A lot of changes, right . Youre doing a lot for a lot of people. Backpack. Come on, come on, come on, come on. You guys excited about school . Yes, yes, yes. Why . I dont know why. Why do stars poop . Im not sure they do. Youre crazy. No, you are. You are. Mommy . Yes. Whos going to pick me up after school . Yeah, daddy will pick you both up today. This is my school. You want to give me a hug . Ill miss you, okay . I love you. I love you too. Text me when you get there. I will. Sit back, relax, enjoy our roughly 1 hour and 38minute flight to st. Louis. Welcome aboard. Knowing that both the clinics in texas and oklahoma would no longer be able to exist, it was literally looking at a map and seeing carbondale, illinois, just stand out in a sea of states that would be banned texas, oklahoma, georgia, tennessee, kentucky, alabama, missouri, mississippi, louisiana. Okay. Ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of this flight crew on southwest islands, wed like to welcome you to st. Louis. This country has forced patients to be medical refugees of their home state. But this is where we are at because of the fight on the other side to limit access. Welcome to the 50th march for life. [ cheers and applause ] we dont end as a response to Roast Roe Being overturned. Why . Because were not yet done. We all need to get ready, get ready to march. Hey, hey, ho, ho. Abortion has got to go the choice is before us. What will we choose, the law or anarchy . Abortion is Health Care Abortion is Health Care Justice or injustice . A future of death or a future of life . I cant thank you enough for continuing this fight. The next phase now begins. The next steps in a postroe era. Abortion is [ bleep ] murder when youre in a battle, its important to keep your focus on what the mission is. Abortion is murder. Tell your friends. Tell your family. Life and death is at stake. Lets continue this battle. Lets win this battle. God bless all of you. God bless the United States. People need to be able to make choices for their life. If i can help someone, then im grateful i can do that, whether it be abortion work or whether it be what Birth Control youre going to take. Its my hearts calling. Its my faiths calling. Its my spiritual purpose. Its supposed to be what im doing. Im, like, just one little cog on the wheel. Most of todays patients, everyone will have traveled. So i can do it if they can do it. Turn left onto south illinois avenue. I come to illinois right now about every six weeks from missoula, montana. From leaving my house To Carbondale would be a total of about nine hours. Turn left. Then your destination will be on the right. There arent abortion providers everywhere. Theres more doctors willing to travel because, you know, theres only certain places now that you can provide. So, remember, its dr. Joey instead of banks or maam. So if you have someone thats a brandnew patient, maybe call me in just to kind of alleviate their fear. Yes. Regular health care that could help a person is no longer available to so many people. Im totally grateful that so many people have stepped up and opened clinics in states that are still open. Yes, i got you. But i think we have a kind of hard struggle ahead of us. All right. Lets go. And great savings. crowd cheers here, take mine.

There is so much potential for good to be done in our statehouses and on capitol hill because we know theres evil. But today my guest is one of the good ones, one of those whos fighting evil. Arkansas senator jason rapert, who has done an amazing job advocating for preborn life. While he was senator, he introduced the strongest prolife legislation ever passed in the statehouse. Good to see you. Good to see you. I think a lots happened, but we still have a lot of work to do. Thats right. It was gods divine will that roe be overturned. But i also believe it is gods will that abortion be abolished in this nation completely. We need more jasons in statehouses across the country because now that roe is reversed, we all know the fight goes to the states. This is where rubber meets the road. In order to seek the greatest amount of good right now in this postroe america, we need to pass as many state laws as possible. When America Abolishes Abortion mmhmm. It will be as fundamental and changing to the soul of this nation as the abolishment of slavery was in the 1800s. As we both know, weve got some back doors that have been created. The idea of the Abortion Tourism Thing thats happening is anathema to me. Theyre literally helping people take a trip and spend a few days so you can come and kill your baby. We go against human trafficking, but were not stopping trafficking where theyre killing a baby . For decades, the Antiabortion Movement has used medically false and misleading language to pass legislation that regulates a womans body and takes away a womans they just want to break us. Along the way, antiabortion advocates have injected a slew of misinformation and antiscientific rhetoric into the discussion. The best act of resistance is pure survival. But for them to see us thriving hopefully is just an extra twist of the sword in their side. Good girl. Everybody is going to be so happy to see you. Sit. Yeah, sit. Right on your sister, thats good. Lets work now. Its 9 00. All right. Its great to see all of us. Midwest access coalition, we do all the logistical work to get a client to their abortion procedure. I have a resource, and im going to show folks. Alison helped me. So different Client Resources and different updates. Booking accommodations, travel, gas money, child care, anything a client says they need to make it to their appointment. Dolly, calm down one, two, three, four. Gas and food, train. All right. A lot of people like to drive if they have the opportunity. But if thats not an option, we look at buses, trains, commercial flights, and then we also use a new nonprofit called elevated access. Theyre a Volunteer Network of pilots. Hey, liz. How you doing . I just wanted to update you real quick. Odds are this pair has never flown on a small airplane before, maybe not an airplane at all. Its either this hourlong flight or 11 to 15hour bus or amtrak ride. Its not like the big airports. Theres no tsa. Theres no security check. Crisis is the mother of all invention, i guess. Just about every county in the United States has at least one airport, which means most people are within about 30 miles or less of an airport. I knew that as a pilot, there might be something more that i could do. We have a Flight Request from scottsdale, arizona, to san francisco. Sameday round trip. Stand by. Ill try to find an airport that might work. We got a client from oklahoma going To Carbondale, and i said, dont forget to pick up your money from the clinic. No credit or debit card needed, and im here if she needs me. Weve got pilots lined up. Looks like this airport is the best airport. Is the passenger still good to make this trip . My second client this morning, who was texas to wichita, she said two beds, please. My mom and grandmother are coming with me. Weve got our pilot and passenger in touch with each other. The flight is about 15 minutes out. I found an amtrak ride so she could sleep in a little longer. North carolina to illinois. Iowa to minnesota. Try to find an airport that might work. I think i have one person on a bus. Is there any way the passenger can get over to chandler . Georgia to ohio. East texas to st. Louis. Wisconsin to chicago. Porterville. Louisiana. Alabama. Little rock, arkansas, To Carbondale, illinois. Its all free. Theres no cost. Were just taking people from point a to point b. No different than a taxi driver. We dont want to know the purpose of the persons travel. To help protect the pilots flying people from banned states. We dont want to put the pilots or the passengers at any risk. I want to make sure i can do what i can to keep myself and my family safe. Here, quincy. Come and get it. Come and get it. You dropped it. Did you find it . Good job. Come on. I dont want you to get sick. I was the head of a Reproductive Rights Organization in missouri. Someone found my home address, and we received a death threat at our home. I was so scared. The Police Department basically said, theres nothing we can do about that. We decided to come back home. My greatgrandpas farm is five farms down. It was really intentional to be here in this Quiet Community and to be hidden. Dont eat my hair. My biggest fear is arrest. That if missouri passes a law to stop Aiding And Abetting abortion or whatever theyre calling it, that ill be one of the people that theyll put a target on. Every day, i grow more and more scared that that could be my reality. Ensure max protein, 30 grams of protein, 1 gram of sugar. Enter the 10,000 powered by protein max challenge.

Thatwhy theres 85 more tide in every power pod. See . Baby ah. Im orlando and im living with hiv. I dont have to worry about daily hiv pills because i switched to everyothermonth cabenuva. For adults who are undetectable, cabenuva is the only complete longacting Hiv Treatment you can get every other month. Its two injections from a healthcare provider. Now when i have people over, hiv pills arent on my mind. Dont receive cabenuva if youre allergic to its ingredients, or if youre taking certain medicines, which may interact with cabenuva. Serious side effects include allergic reactions, postinjection reactions, Liver Problems, and depression. If you have a rash and other allergic reaction symptoms, stop cabenuva and get medical help right away. Tell your doctor if you have Liver Problems or Mental Health concerns, and if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or considering pregnancy. Some of the most common side effects include injectionsite reactions, fever, and tiredness. If you switch to cabenuva, attend all treatment appointments. It feels good to just live in the moment. With everyothermonth cabenuva, im good to go. Ask your doctor about cabenuva today. Im gonna walk you through everything i eat in a day. Not today, sis. Unless you plan on orbiting earth, you dont need to eat powder for every meal. With noom you can still enjoy your favorite food and reach your goal weight. Get started with noom, today.

Part of why i enjoy flying is that its a way to get above it all literally, and i couldnt just sit there having this resource and not using it to help other people. My dad, he always flew kind of for recreation. He said, hey, if you want to do your pilots license, you can use the plane. Thats when i finally started. You know, i grew up in a very conservative christian household and community, and so my family does not know details of what i do now. They know im working in aviation, but i dont share the particulars of it. You see the planes . Hes more interested in the flag. So we fly obviously people for care, but we also fly the doctors, nurses, and others that are working in clinics. If the doctors that are doing this work burn out, get tired, wore out, thats one other way in which the whole ecosystem around Abortion Care can get worse still. Its kind of warmer. It might be a little bumpy. Once we get up higher, it should smooth out a little bit at least. All right, keith. Go ahead. Turn left eastbound runway. Clear for takeoff. Have a good flight. Man, a bumpy day. I knew it was going to be some, but its more than i even expected. These short trips back either way are the worst. I commute around ohio to illinois every weekend. As we anticipated a lot of worsening of access for patients, particularly in the midwest. And so a group of us from those states actually banded together to help set up this clinic. As areas become more and more legally complicated around pregnancy termination, were seeing fewer and fewer people work in this part of health care. And in this region, the number is abysmal. All right. Ill check the machine. If the few of us who are doing this work dont, no one does. Hello. You have an appointment today . Whether its this small or whether its big, it always represents a centimeter, no matter what it is. What i liked is that you were here. [ speaking in a nonenglish language ] well see patients that have jumped through every possible hoop, and theyll make it happen one way or the other. Since alamo has opened, we have supported 75 clients. So a client reached out, traveling from oklahoma to illinois. I know that everything was covered for the abortion, but had you talked to anybody else about getting, like, just support to help travel . Oh, yeah. Whats the good of covering the cost of a procedure if the client cant even afford to get to their Abortion Appointment . With the lockbox, we can go in to file a support request. We send the clinic a physical lockbox with the actual cash in it. So youve got the mac cash, right . They already paid for the hotel, so we have to pick up the gas money. Looks like its lets see how far of a drive this is. 7 hours and 45 minutes. 473. 6 miles one way. So thats 100, 200, 10, 15, 16. 216. 216 in roundtrip gas funding. That is yours. Thank y
