Dr. Alan Braid, 78, hugs his daughter Andrea Gallegos, 40, goodbye after the opening of Alamo Women’s Clinic in Carbondale, Illinois, U.S., November 4, 2022. On June 24, 2022, a year ago this week, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and stripped away a nationwide right to abortion. Dozens of clinics closed, forcing patients to travel thousands of miles to end pregnancies. These included clinics of Alan Braid and his daughter Andrea Gallegos in San Antonio, Texas, and Tulsa, Oklahoma. Braid, an abortion provider since 1972, and Gallegos, manager of their clinics, decided to uproot their families in Texas to open the clinics in New Mexico and Illinois, two states where abortion remains legal.
