Guttmacher's Candace Gibson on obstacles to abortion care in the US

Candace Gibson (Director of State Policy), highlights how resilient individuals overcome obstacles to access abortion care and notes that protective state policies help residents receive care within their home states. 

Video

Transcript: There are many people who aren't able to get the care that they that they want or need. and I think this data point really speaks to the resiliency of individuals who are able to just jump through all these obstacles to get the care they deserve. And I think the other thing, too, as well, is that, the state policies that we're seeing that are very protective are actually facilitating the ability of residents to get care, too, within their home states.
