"i don't want to go in an airplane, i'm scared!" but i eventually got to the point that i love it. i'm sorry i had to do that. hopefully it will be level here soon, and sure enough, they started looking out the window, i think, maybe finally and thought, oh, we can see our town. having to fly over the interstate with people going slower than we are. they hadn't seen anything like that before. we're about to cross the market zone. i can't imagine what these people's lives would be if they weren't getting the support. so, being able to make things have fewer barriers makes it easier to get through a process that maybe they don't want to do, but they know that's going to be best for them. >> that's pretty neat. we came out of the top of the cloud. >> how is everybody feeling? still sick? >> hi, baby. hi. >> where are you? >> i'm in illinois right now. >> are you working in illinois? >> i am. what are you doing? >> is it morning -- is it morning at your place? >> no, it's evening just like it is over there. it's the exact same time. >> it's evening. >> are you -- >> i am. hey, tell me about your day at school. you had your float parade? >> yeah. i was looking to see if you were there. >> there's a lot, when i'm gone, that i miss. but i think what makes it worth it is knowing that the majority of our patients come from states that have banned abortion. we're doing exactly what we intended to do here. >> taking care of your own life and health care needs, there's a strength in that. there's power in that. i typically don't want to share my story with clients that i support, but sometimes it's a way to show the next person that they're not alone. we're not alone. i had my own abortion in 2016. just like you are having to travel now for the care you deserve, i had to also leave my home state to seek care in a better place. >> how long was your drive from oklahoma, or did you fly? >> it was about nine and a half hours. >> you are in good, caring hands. >> she's in recovery. she did awesome. >> and you are also strong and powerful in your own right. >> big breath out, tell yourself you're safe. >> sending you love, strength, and power. alison. >> where are you coming from today? >> we come from jackson, tennessee. >> houston. >> mississippi. >> missouri. >> kentucky. >> louisiana. >> i drove a little over three hours. >> four and a half hours. >> eight hours. >> five hours. >> three and a half hours one way. >> the drive was worth it. it wasn't just a eight-hour drive for no reason. >> even though you have goals, you know you have dreams, you know you're trying to accomplish things. >> this is my decision right now. i'm glad i got to make it. >> we're going to provide until we can't. as far as i'm concerned, we're not going anywhere. you just can't give up. >> here we are. >> hi. you have an appointment today? >> yeah. >> even more states are expected to further restrict access to abortion. so, groups like the one you just saw say they will keep coming up with different solutions to provide access to women who need it. thanks so much for watching "the whole story." i'll see you next sunday. ♪ hello and a warm welcome to our viewers joining us here in the united states and around the
