As we cross the border into the conservative state in which my older daughter attends college, she often snaps a photo of the state line. A Snapchat post the author's daughter created when she crossed the state line from her home state, where abortion is legal, to the state where she attends college, where abortion is illegal. Now I know that, in some states, some forms of health care would be better accessed after crossing a border. If your child becomes pregnant in Alabama or a state with similar laws, it will be important to seek health care in a pro-choice state. Regardless of whether you agree with your college student’s decisions about their sexual activity, you don’t want to be navigating abortion care in a legally hostile environment.
