Missourians who want to receive abortion care legally are being forced to travel outside of the state to get care. Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa and Illinois all have laws that give abortion seekers varying degrees of access to abortion. There are other states on the map like Colorado, Indiana and Ohio that don't border Missouri but are within one thousand miles of mid-Missouri. All of the southern border states like Oklahoma, Arkansas, Kentucky and Tennessee all have total bans on abortion like Missouri.
