A new Maryland abortion provider is opening next to deeply conservative West Virginia, where state lawmakers recently passed a near-total abortion ban

Since January 2022, the clinic's abortion fund has distributed $150,000 for more than 800 people, mostly West Virginia residents. A closer clinic in Hagerstown is open for abortions during limited hours a few times a month. It provides first-trimester abortions only and doesn’t accept Maryland Medicaid — a barrier to low-income patients, Quiñonez said. Otherwise, patients must travel more than 100 miles to Pittsburgh or even further, to Baltimore or Washington, D.C.
