California doctor Meg Autry has proposed an innovative solution to those seeking abortions in southern U.S. states – a floating abortion clinic in the Gulf of Mexico .
Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas, all states that have abortion bans, are far distances from states where abortion is legal. New Mexico, for instance, offers legalized abortion procedures as one of the closest for Texans, and it's a 10-hour drive from Dallas.after 15 weeks, with exceptions if the procedure is necessary to save the pregnant person’s life.
"This is closer and faster access for some people, particularly for working people that live in the southernmost part of these states," Autry said. "There's been an assault on reproductive rights in our country, and I'm a lifelong advocate for reproductive health and choice. We have to create options and be thoughtful and creative to help people in restrictive states get the health care they deserve."Autry said her legal team believes there is a portion of federal water where licensed providers could safely and legally provide abortions out of reach of state laws.
