Officials with Planned Parenthood of Michigan say the number of out-of-state abortion seekers has nearly quadrupled in Michigan since the overturning of Roe v. Wade - and the numbers, they expect, will be increasing even further. Dr. Sarah Wallett – the Chief Medical Officer at Planned Parenthood of Michigan-says the expected increase in September when Indiana’s ban goes into effect, has them working on expanding abortion availability, state-wide.
“We have been working on hiring staff and cross training staff. And, opening up additional appointments, adjusting hours. You know, anything that we can do in order to meet that demand.”
In the meantime, Wallett reminds women here in Michigan that, for now, abortion in this state is legal.
