Texas made obtaining an abortion virtually impossible since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, . For a state as large as Texas, getting to where abortion is legal can be the challenge.
But volunteer pilots are giving flight to women in need of abortion care.
Elevated Access is an organization that coordinates small plane pilots with people in need of an abortion. The match-ups are done online. Elevated Access embraces anonymity. The pilots don’t even know the names of their passengers.
Privacy and secrecy is baked into the process of connecting people who need abortions with pilots who want to help. Elevated Access started a year and a half ago, and so far they’ve flown more than 600 missions for more than 800 people around the country.
