44% : Abortion in Missouri "requires an 'affirmative defense,' meaning a provider has to prove in court that an abortion met the criteria for a legal exception," according to the Guttmacher Institute, a research group that focuses on sexual and reproductive health.
40% : Becerra, speaking from the Fairview Heights Planned Parenthood, told ABC News that the clinic is seeing patients not only from states that have imposed bans and restrictions on abortion but "people from all across America.""Not just the patient, but the families as well, because those patients, when they come here, can't just leave their family behind," Becerra said.
14% :Becerra was visiting two Planned Parenthood clinics Friday - one in Fairview Heights, Illinois, a state where abortion is still legal, and a second clinic less than 20 miles away in St. Louis, Missouri, a state where abortion is almost completely banned.
