“I cannot have a baby right now,” one Texas woman said.
According to Kimbro, more than 200 Texas women have already gotten abortions through his for-profit organization. The process, Kimbro said, now starts with a physician referral.
“There’s a number of physicians that are working with us,” Kimbro said. “They then give a code to the sonogram company … the sonogram company then says, ‘OK, this person is real…’ So it starts with a four-letter and digit code, they then give them another unique identifier, and they then text our number. And then that’s when we schedule them on the boat.”
Kimbro said, so far, they’re averaging eight patients a day, but could see up 24. Being able to perform abortions on water is dependent on weather in the Gulf, Kimbro told us. Women are being charged about $1,500, according to him.
