They traveled across state lines to get abortions. Now they fear a post-Roe world

Women traveled across state lines to get abortions told ABC News they fear a world without Roe v. Wade, particularly in their states where abortion would be banned.

A leaked draft opinion showing the Supreme Court is poised to overturn Roe v. Wade sparked nationwide outrage and panic among abortion rights advocates. And for women who already experienced challenges and restrictions in accessing reproductive care in their states, the prospect of a world without federal processions is daunting.

Valerie Peterson said that learning about the leaked draft opinion was "triggering" because it reminded her of her own "agonizing" experience.

Peterson, a single mother with two daughters, said she traveled from Texas to Florida in 2015 after finding out her baby would likely not survive and facing restrictions obtaining an abortion.

"After the leak, one of the things that I really thought about were the other women that would be impacted by this decision," Peterson told ABC News. "If Roe v. Wade is indeed overturned, this will be a traumatic experience for a lot of people across the United States."
