Abortion Clinics Cancel Appointments, Pivoting to a New Business Model (Guest: Jim Harden)

In a post-Roe America, the abortion industry is pivoting to a hub-and-spoke strategy, either flying women from conservative states to abortion hub states to get abortions or sending them dangerous, chemical abortion drugs through the mail. Many abortion facilities may close, providing an opportunity for pro-life, medical centers to increase their infrastructure and serve the unmet health and resource needs of thousands more women.

Q&A:

1. What is the new reality for the abortion industry in a post-Roe America?

Answer: Since abortionists have been scheduling abortion procedures out two or more weeks in advance, the reversal of Roe caused the cancellation of thousands of abortion procedures in at least 26 states—scores of abortion facilities will be sitting idle this week and will likely have to shutter for good.

• What does the reversal of Roe mean for women?

Answer: Because the reversal of Roe does not end abortion, but gives it to the states to decide for themselves, the abortion industry moves to a hub-and-spoke model, flying women from conservative states in for procedures and sending dangerous, chemical abortion drugs out to women in those same states. 

• What will the abortion industry do with all their empty infrastructure? 

Answer: Now that the abortion industry will have no use for their facilities in 26 or more states, pro-life, medical pregnancy centers will have the opportunity to increase their infrastructure, serving thousands more women both in-person and online through telehealth.
