A Kentuckian's abortion story: Stacy, a mom of 3 and small business owner from rural KY, learned her pregnancy tested positive for trisomy 21. She chose abortion—but Kentucky’s ban forced her to travel out of state alone. Because of this, she was unable to receive the pain management she preferred. The cost hit hard, pushing her family to sell work equipment.
