Liz Szabo is an independent health and science journalist. Her work has won multiple national awards. One of her investigations led to a new state law in Virginia.

With Florida’s six-week abortion ban now in place, telehealth appointments with out-of-state physicians and mail-order abortion pills could play increasingly important roles in allowing women there to safely end their pregnancies. Advocates on both sides of the abortion debate agree that the practice is likely to be challenged in court, as red states assert their right to curtail abortion and blue states attempt to protect abortion providers.

Until last week, Florida had one of the most permissive abortion laws in the South, allowing abortion through 15 weeks of pregnancy. Women throughout the Southeast have traveled to Florida for abortion care. In the first six months of last year, 13% of people undergoing abortions in Florida were from other states, according to the Guttmacher Institute.
