Broadband Deserts and Reproductive Care: The Devastating Impact on Health Resources
According to the findings in Rummel and Javaid’s report, published by the National Women’s Law Center, nearly half of all counties in the US are abortion deserts, or counties where the travel distance to the closest abortion care facility is over 100 miles; 53% of abortion deserts are also pregnancy care deserts. Notably, over 740,000 women live in counties with both a broadband desert and an abortion care desert, and nearly one-third of those women are women of color.
