But for other people whose draw to abortion care is less clear-cut, the calculus around where to train and practice feels more complicated.
Meet Bria Peacock.
Bria is doing her OBGYN residency in California at UCSF, but Georgia is really where her heart is.
Her vision for what her life would be dedicated to, her mission, became really clear to her very young.
But for now, she's at UCSF, getting the training she needs to be the abortion provider she wants to be.
It isn't always easy though, she says.
She's getting the training she wants, but it can be hard to be so far from home.
When Dobbs fell, the first thing she thought about naturally was Georgia.
Georgia has a six week ban, essentially eliminating abortion in the state.
But even if she won't be able to practice abortions in Georgia, Bria says, her plan is still to go back.
Since Dobbs, almost half of the OBGYN residency programs in the country are in states with complete or partial bans, and only 40 of the country's almost 800 family medicine residencies offer integrated abortion training.
During the Roe era, I think we took for granted that we could always train new generations of abortion providers.
There was a hopefulness to that.
Going forward, as current providers age out and approach retirement, it's not clear if there will be people there with the training they need to fill those shoes.

And next week, we look ahead to the future of abortion care.
Where do we go from here?
