  Since the overturning of Roe, countless Texan women in Miller’s situation have sought care in Colorado, but what poses as a solution for them is beginning to create a crisis for ob-gyns out of state, and raises the question of when a serious state health-care problem is actually a national one. “Life as we know it has been turned upside down,” Emily Schneider, the legislative chair of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists in Colorado, said. “Let’s just say I got started on antidepressants last summer.” Schneider, herself an ob-gyn, has got used to seeing patients not just from Texas but also from Oklahoma, Wyoming, Idaho, and Louisiana. Some have called labor and delivery at the hospital where she works: “My baby has an anomaly. Can I come?” Others have shown up at her office unannounced with an ectopic pregnancy.
