Women in the Midwest and South are subject to restrictive laws, which imply that women are either unfit or unqualified to make decisions about their lives, their families, and their current or future children. A few laws which simply make abortion access difficult include: 1. Punitive and prejudicial laws placed on the structure of clinics that provide abortions (i.e. TRAP Laws or targeted regulation of abortion providers). 2. Medically unnecessary requirements for abortion providers to have hospital privileges, a stipulation that has closed dozens of clinics across the country. 3. Prohibiting private insurance from covering abortion care. 4. Requiring a 24-hour waiting period. 5. Mandating Notarized Dual Parental Consent for minors. IN ADDITION, in this part of the country, women are subject to other expenses to access abortion care, including: 1. Costs for longer travel to get to an abortion provider. 2. Costs for caring for their current children. 3. Missed pay to take off of work for their appointment.
