Fate of abortion access in North Carolina could hinge on midterm elections

In the last few months, North Carolina has become a haven for abortion access in the south. It is one of the few states in the region that has not restricted it since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June. Abortion is legal in North Carolina up to 20 weeks of pregnancy.  

Kelly Flynn runs a woman's choice clinic in Raleigh, which has been flooded with calls. She said the number of calls they receive a week from out-of-state residents has doubled recently.  

Before the Supreme Court's decision to overturn the longstanding Roe v. Wade, 35% of the patients at Flynn's women's clinic were from out of town. But now, with neighboring states like South Carolina restricting or banning abortion, Flynn said that the number stands at 56%.
