Jen and John Adkins never expected to have to send a package like this.

Unsteady on her feet after a medical procedure last spring, Jen emerged from a clinic with a box she needed to ship urgently. The clock was ticking; if they missed the FedEx cutoff, she and John recalled to CNN, they wouldn’t be able to get crucial test results that would affect the future of their family.

They were far from their home in Caldwell, Idaho, a suburb of Boise, after a surreal six-hour drive up Interstate 84 to Portland, Oregon.

Idaho’s abortion laws meant they had to seek care across state lines after receiving devastating news about a much-wanted pregnancy.

Stories like theirs have become increasingly common, as Jen and several other plaintiffs laid out in a lawsuit filed against the state of Idaho in September.

The Major OBGYN in Caldwell is closing in a few months. Providers do not want to practice in Idaho, its fucking embarrassing.

Jen said. “We all just hope that we get through this pregnancy unscathed.”

Something that I never thought regular people who are having a baby would have to say/think.
