Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota will offer abortions, but there's a catch--abortions can only be performed on Native American women by Native American doctors.
No one can change it (for the moment, as long as Roe vs. Wade stands) because--surprise, surprise--reservations follow federal law, not state law.
So Native Americans are covered, but sadly, other women will still have to either go to another state that allows abortions or resort to "back alley" abortions with a coat hanger.
