Post-Roe, Native Americans face even more abortion hurdles

April Matson sits for a portrait in Sioux Falls, S.D., on Wednesday, Feb. 8, 2023. A few months after South Dakota banned abortion in 2022, Matson drove more than nine hours to take a friend to a Colorado clinic to get the procedure. The trip brought back difficult memories of Matson’s own abortion at the same clinic in 2016. The former grocery store worker and parent of two couldn’t afford a hotel and slept in a tent near a horse pasture — bleeding and in pain.
