Delaware News Journal
In a post-Roe America, abortion remains legal in Delaware. But is it accessible?
Synopsis
Meredith Newman at the Delaware News Journal gathers stories from Delaware women about their abortions, including Shané Darby, a Wilmington city councilwoman who had to travel to Pennsylvania to get an abortion. The stories underscore the challenges that make it harder to obtain care in the state: expensive procedures that cost $715, and few clinic options, especially for those in rural areas. Even in states like Delaware, where abortion is legal in principle, abortions can still be hard to get.
I fell into that trap. Because this was my first time getting an abortion … so I’m thinking, ‘We’re good, we’re great in Delaware. We have abortion access.’ But it’s bigger than access.
