With just two abortion providers, both in Jackson, a city located in the western part of the state, Wyoming presents a unique challenge for abortion access.

North Dakota
In this episode I interview Tammi Kromenaker, the director of the only abortion provider in North Dakota, Red River Women's Clinic, along with Kristie Wolff, the executive director the North Dakota Women's Network, and a number of other fierce advocates in the state. Learn what it means to be "North Dakota Nice" and how advocates have fought to save the ERA in ND and to oppose a number of restrictions. We also discuss the ND "medication abortion reversal" bill that requires physicians to deliver false information to patients and is caught up in a lawsuit taken on by the American Medical Association.
