Preparing to return to Texas, Dr. Alan Braid, 78, leaves Alamo Women’s Clinic the day after it opened in Carbondale, Illinois, U.S., November 4, 2022. Of the 27 new clinics that have opened in the past year in states with permissive abortion laws, six are operated by providers who moved from states that now ban abortion, according to data collected by Middlebury College economics professor Caitlin Myers. Two of those are Braid’s. “I don’t think I ever really thought about quitting,” said Braid. “My motivation is to provide a safe place for women to come who have made the decision to terminate their pregnancy.” REUTERS/Evelyn Hockstein
