Despite the growth in abortion pills by mail in the U.S., in-clinic abortion care continues to be essential, including later in pregnancy. Since Dobbs, hundreds of thousands of pregnant persons are forced to travel an average 1,300 miles (2 000 km) to obtain that critical care. Serra Sippel and her brave colleagues at the Brigid Alliance help these pregnant persons, a majority of whom are Black/persons of color, low-income day workers who already have children. In coordination with clinics and abortion funds, the Brigid Alliance provides its clients with wrap-around support, such as hotels, transportation, meals, childcare and when needed, a traveling companion. Serra denounces the U.S.’ cruel treatment of its most vulnerable residents: listen to her conversation with Françoise and be inspired by the Brigid Alliance’s ingenuity, solidarity and thoughtfulness.
