Colorado, the individual freedom state, will assist. It's wrong that any state that forces women to get pregnant and doesn't pay that woman $10K a year per child to cover it.

If a state makes abortion restrictions, the least they can do is give the patient resources to go somewhere where it's legal, and have absolutely 0 laws that restrict them from going to another state to get an abortion.
