Access care, like dr. reagan who helps women find abortions, the need has only grown in the last year. we ve seen a 500% increase to site visits in the last year since dobbs, showing that people are, you know, anxious and scared and they want to know what is going on and if they can access abortion in their state. they re looking for care. they re looking for care. how do you feel a year out? i think it s worse than i had expected. reporter: post roe? post roe. when i hear the stories like amanda is telling and mia and the impact that that s had on our medical system, that s why we have to keep fighting. i think every worse fear i had has come true. to me, that s devastating. i would say, on the flip side, i am grateful that so many people like these two women and doctors are willing to stand up and tell people, so that we can fight to dhang this decision in the future. i would say i m exhausted. it s, you know, something i still can t wrap my head around a year later
Lawmakers who are tasked with legislaing around it and, of course, to the women who are at the center of making these decisions for themselves, or at least trying to. when the supreme court s decision on dobbs came down a year ago, amanda zorowski was furious. i was undergoing fertility treatment, so i did not think an abortion was something i would ever need or want, because i didn t understand fully how abortion is health care. reporter: months after amanda finally got pregnant, doctors told her the fetus wouldn t make it, but also that they couldn t help. she couldn t provide an abortion. she couldn t do any of the things that she was trained to do because of the restrictions in texas. as a result, it landed me in the icu with sepsis. reporter: knowing that you had to get worse in order to get the care you needed, can you just talk to us a little bit more about how that felt? it was devastating on top of
We re also talking about people like amanda who want a child and they re going to refuse to allow them to have the reproductive health care they need in order to stay healthy. reporter: though the dobbs decision added more barriers to abortion access, it s not like other barriers didn t exist before. for rena, an army veteran who had an abortion years before the dobbs decision came down, it wasn t just access in care, it was the stigma around it. i ve overheard my superiors talking about how pregnant women were worthless. i quite frankly never wanted to be a parent, i still don t, so as soon as i found out i was pregnant, i made a call to the local clinic. reporter: she counted herself lucky to access the abortion she sought, and she only had to travel an hour to do so. others have to drive and fly much further to access that procedure. that wasn t an option for you, right, amanda? no. if we had made that choice and i d gone into septic shock on an airplane or in a car in t
Still having. we re just not where i d hoped we d be at this point. i feel committed to staying in the fight. reporter: amanda, now suing the state of texas over abortion laws, it s also only just beginning. i feel determined because of what happened to me, and i feel determined to keep fighting until we make things better. mika, for all the folks i talked to there, this is only just the beginning. we re at a point now where we would have otherwise been saying that we were 50 years celebrating the anniversary of re versus wade. instead now, there is an entirely new landscape out there that presents barriers for women s care, but also quickly the conversation turns to the politics of it. the it is important that you led with that new polling that we have out this morning that does show why republican candidates in the halls of congress, where i see them on the campaign trail, are having a tough time talking about this issue. by and large, after decades of pushing for the overt
