7. And there are only 8 clinics that provide abortion services in Minnesota

Six in the Minneapolis/St Paul area, 1 in Rochester, and 1 in Duluth. The clinic in Duluth refers to itself as "the only provicer in Northern Minnesota, Northern Wisconsin, and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan" so I imagine that is already pretty busy.

There is a Planned Parenthood Clinic in Sioux Falls, SD but it has to fly a doctor in once a month from Minneapolis (and it is the only clinic in South Dakota) so it can be of very little help to women in SD or western Minnesota and often advises them to go to another state.

I would hope that, given that most abortions are preformed early, there may be more doctors who will prescribe the "abortion pill" but don't advertise it because of the crazies.
