Today, what abortion bans have meant for women in America.
Earlier this year,
a woman named Kristin went to an abortion clinic outside of Fort Lauderdale in Florida.
Kristen already had two kids and she'd gotten pregnant again unexpectedly.
She didn't have the resources for it and wanted to be a good mom to the kids that she already had.
So she came in and was expecting to end this pregnancy.
Kristin was eight weeks pregnant and she thought she'd gone to the clinic just in time.
The day before Florida's six week abortion ban took effect.
But Florida law requires at least 24 hours between an initial consultation
and an abortion procedure,
which meant she had missed the deadline by one day.
And I, I sat just like a foot away from her as she internalized that news.
And she just started to sob.
