Doctor goes to great lengths to keep abortion accessible [View all]
Dr. Carol Ball was two-thirds of the way through her morning commute when she heard the news.
The first leg of her journey, a scooter ride to the Twin Cities airport, had been uneventful. Not so for the second leg — a 200-mile flight to Sioux Falls — as the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a Massachusetts law keeping protesters at least 35 feet from abortion clinics.
The loss of any kind of protection is a blow in Ball's line of work, and the Massachusetts case had been widely watched. But the ruling will have no direct effect on the doctor in running shoes and khakis who performs abortions far from home.
Because losing protection means you have some to begin with.
