When I leave the U.S., I fly back through Canada.

So this is interesting information that I would never have thought of, but this is advice that came from lawyers.

It turns out that for, you know, in general, for people who are law-abiding, the time when you have the most contact or the time at which you are at most risk of having contact with law enforcement agencies is when you drive a car.

Traffic violations, car accidents, witnessing a car accident, anything like that.

And if you can imagine, I'm outside of Massachusetts.

It turns out that there's some kind of either subpoena or warrant or something that's been issued against me.

I get into a car accident.

Somebody in another state, even a friendly state in New England, runs my name and that pops up.

And so one of the things that lawyers have advised is that's another way to decrease or minimize risk is just to not put yourself in a place where you're vulnerable for getting pulled over.

I think the biggest thing for me is that my mom and stepdad live in South Carolina.

So I'm not able to visit them in person there and have it for over two and a half years.

And that makes me sad.

We see each other in other places and we made the decision as a family that this is what we wanted to do.

And my husband's been really supportive of that.

But that...

I mean, we certainly all think about it and have decided collectively that that risk is worth it because the care that we're providing is so important.

Well, I certainly think there's going to be a sort of multi-pronged attack on medication abortion pills in general and on mifepristone in particular.

But the thing that I'm watching, and again, I say this as a non-lawyer, but as someone who's been following what's going on in state legislatures, what I see in terms of anti-abortion movement rhetoric, is that I fear that there is going to be a continued push to criminalize the abortion patient.

And, you know, 10 years ago, this was almost unthinkable that the anti-abortion rights movement would say out loud that a strategy for reducing the number of abortions was to put abortion seekers or abortion patients in jail.

But now we're seeing...
