Claire Reardon is a rising fourth-year doctoral candidate at the University of Kentucky in the department of Sociology. Her research examines cross-state abortion travel to Illinois, and the effect of abortion bans on individuals’ perceived ability to access care. Using semi-structured telephone interviews with 30 participants recruited through Illinois clinic partnerships, this qualitative study examines how geography, socioeconomic and racial inequities, and criminalization intersect to shape both the logistics of cross-state abortion travel and individuals’ confidence in their ability to end a pregnancy. This research also addresses two critical gaps in the sexual and reproductive health literature by merging interpersonal violence frameworks with systemic reproductive coercion findings and through emphasizing rural populations, who remain underrepresented in post-Dobbs abortion research. Informed by intersectionality theory, social constructionism, and reproductive justice, findings will detail the structural and meaning-laden dimensions of structural reproductive coercion in the post-Dobbs era. Results will be shared with Illinois policymakers, abortion funds, legal advocates and be prepared for public dissemination to support equitable abortion access and inform ongoing legislative and advocacy efforts in states with abortion bans.
