24 hours in an America where Roe v. Wade barely hangs on
CNN
Twice a month for the last seven years, Dr. Sarah Traxler travels to Sioux Falls and becomes the only abortion doctor in South Dakota. Roe v. Wade is already barely holding on in states like South Dakota, Traxler says. If the law is overturned, Traxler says it would be an "unjust" verdict for women there.
By 6:30 a.m., she's at the airport in Minneapolis, headed to Sioux Falls. And by the day's end, she'll return.
She makes this trek because no doctor in the state is willing or able to perform the procedure. "If there's nobody else willing to do it, this is what we feel like we need to do in order to give patients access to that care," she says.
