'I Had to Drive 600 Miles for My $800 Abortion'

I was born almost two decades after Roe v. Wade recognized the right to legal abortion in America. I always thought that meant my right to have an abortion was guaranteed, and no one could interfere with the decisions I made about my own body. Maybe that’s still true in the abstract, but in real-world places like Lubbock, Texas, nothing could be further from the truth.

I learned this the hard way two years ago, in the fall of 2014.
