Check out how abortion access has changed since the end of #RoevWade. I just launched a new abortion access dashboard you can use to visualize changes in travel distances and appointment availability as abortion bans ripple across the country. (1/7)

Click on any state to see how average travel time to the nearest provider has changed since March and how it would continue to change if all 25 bans warned by @Guttmacher and @ReproRights come to pass.(2/7) abortionaccessdashboard.org
Zoom into destinations to see travel networks and measures of congestion. E.g., 2 facilities in Wichita now serve a region with 5 million women of reproductive age. When we called last month only one of them had appointments available within 2 weeks. (3/7) abortionaccessdashboard.org
Click on buttons at the bottom to check out a slider that lets you compare the pre and post-bans travel times. (4/7) abortionaccessdashboard.org
You also can check out details about the methodology and download county and state-level travel times and distances. (5/7) abortionaccessdashboard.org
Props to all the amazing people and organizations supporting this work. Lauren Bennett, @alberto_e_nieto, and @FloraGeo built the dashboard using my data and tools from @ESRI (and graciously responded to approximately 4 million “What if we tried….?” questions from me.) (6/7)
And I’m grateful to the @SocietyFP for funding the survey of appointment availability and to my amazing team of 25 undergraduate researchers @Middlebury who are conducting it. More details and data forthcoming @OSF: osf.io/z4tcr/ (7/7)
