As someone from the Midwest, not having access to medical services nearby is the norm. Nebraska is not SF and there does not exist an expectation of immediate convenience. You are used to driving >3 hours for basically any sort of serious medical care, and generally you like it that way because it's quiet and close knit.

- throwayyy479087 4y agoI’m talking about literally any medical service. Rural hospitals are closing. You have to drive.
- 0xbadcafebee 4y agoRight, I get that. But even if a hospital was literally next door to you in Nebraska, laws would be put in place so you couldn't get an abortion there. That has been happening since Roe v Wade in order to make abortion next to impossible to get, even if it was legal. Like the laws passed in southern states that made it effectively impossible for black people to vote.
