What legalized abortion looks like in some states today

From Salon.com
A piece in USA Today by Laura Vanderkam suggests that without Roe the U.S. won't really be that much different than it is now.
Her argument: the states most likely to actually outlaw abortion, already have remarkably few abortion providers: "In Mississippi, Kentucky and the Dakotas, 98% of counties have no abortion providers; in Missouri and Nebraska, 97% lack them. In these Roe-unfriendly states, women already have to travel hours to obtain abortions; in a post-Roe world of crossing state lines, that story wouldn't change," she writes.
