INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — State and federal data shows thousands of Indiana women are traveling out of state to terminate their pregnancies as abortion clinics close around the state and new laws restrict use of the procedure.

The Indianapolis Star reports that while the number of abortions performed in Indiana declined by 14% between 2009 and 2017, the number of out-of-state abortions doubled.

The data shows that more than 18,000 women crossed state lines during those years to get an abortion, predominantly to Illinois.

Illinois has more abortion providers than Indiana, does not ban abortions after 20 weeks, and the procedure is covered under Medicaid in that state. Abortion-rights advocates say women from Indiana are influenced by these factors to travel outside their communities to seek an abortion.
