WE TALK ABOUT HOW IT IS VERY WITH AN INFLUX OF PATIENTS FROM OTHER STATES.

BRANDIS FRIEDMAN JOINS US LIVE .

>> Reporter: IN THE LAST HOUR OR SO AT THIS PLANNED PARENTHOOD FACILITY IN WAUKEGAN, WE HAVE NOTICED A NUMBER OF CARS WITH OUT-OF-STATE LICENSE PLATES.

THIS OPEN IN 2020 BEFORE THE PANDEMIC.

PLANNED PARENTHOOD OF ILLINOIS SAYS, AT THE TIME, THEY ANTICIPATED SERVING MORE PATIENTS FROM NEIGHBORING STATES IF THOSE STATES SHOULD MAKE ABORTION ILLEGAL AFTER THE ROE DECISION IS OVERTURNED, AND THEY WERE RIGHT.

NOT JUST NEIGHBORING STATES, 34 STATES ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

EVERY TUESDAY MORNING, THEY PRAY FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS.

>> HAIL MARY FULL OF GRACE.

FOR ANTIABORTION ACTIVISTS STAND ACROSS THE STREET FROM A PLANNED PARENTHOOD IN WAUKEGAN.

>> WE ARE OUT HERE WITH A FEELING OF LOVE IN OUR HEARTS.

WE WANT TO GIVE THEM BETTER OPTIONS THAN HAVING THEIR BABY KILLED.

>> Reporter: A RIGHT TO LIFE BOARD MEMBER SAYS ONE OF THOSE OPTIONS IS THE EIGHT FOR WOMEN PREGNANCY CENTER TWO BLOCKS AWAY.

>> THEY CAN HELP THEM WITH SAVING THE CHILD OR GIVE THEM SOME INFORMATION AS FAR AS OTHER OPTIONS BESIDES -- THEY MAY WANT TO HAVE THEIR BABY ADOPTED.

>> Reporter: WE WERE ALLOWED INSIDE THIS PLANNED PARENTHOOD SHORTLY BEFORE IT OPENED TO PATIENTS.

>> Reporter: PLANNED PARENTHOOD OF ILLINOIS SAYS, IN THE LAST YEAR, NEARLY 25% OF PATIENTS AT LOCATIONS IN THE STATE HAVE COME FROM OTHER STATES COME UP FROM 7% BEFORE THE DECISION.

>> WAUKEGAN, 57% OF OUR PATIENTS ARE FROM OUT-OF-STATE.

>> Reporter: THEY ARE ARRIVING AT A HIGHER GESTATIONAL AGE.

THE CAP AT 16 WEEKS IS 13% OF ALL PROCEDURAL ABORTIONS COMPARED TO 8% BEFORE DOBBS.

>> THOSE COMING FROM OUT-OF- STATE, THEY NEED TIME TO FIGURE OUT WHERE TO GO, HOW TO GET MONEY TO GET HERE, FIGURING OUT CHILDCARE, TRANSPORTATION.

>> Reporter: THIS ALL COSTS MONEY.

NOT ONLY DO MORE PATIENTS NEED HELP PAYING FOR THE TRIP OR PROCEDURE, THEY NEED MORE MONEY.
