Lindsey Graham just called for a Congressional investigation into Russia and our election today.

Wait, was that his explanation for not releasing not only anything about Trump but the RNC either? it didn’t meet his “editorial standards”?

I can’t imagine how desperate someone has to be to attempt to abort with a coat hanger. I’ve had uterine and cervical biopsies and they were so so painful. This would be horrific.

Insurance very rarely covers abortions so that question is likely a completely moot point. You can’t get an abortion after 16 weeks in TN even though it’s legal up to 24 weeks. Also they are expensive. I don’t think people realize how expensive they are. No one uses a coat hanger to try to abort because they just felt…

You should go find your corroborating evidence to support your utterly empathy-free response/opinions instead of telling others to do it for you.

Considering that 96% of Tennessee counties do not have clinics, and women in Tennessee have to play by these restrictive rules, I think it’s more than safe to say she had trouble accessing care.

She didn’t intend to “disfigure” the baby. She intended to abort a foetus.

I agree with all of that and I share your concerns. But, it looks like you’re maybe assuming that the sympathy and outrage is for her court case situation. It isn’t - it’s for the fact that she didn’t have access to birth control, education, early OB care, or mental health care, any and all of which could have…

There is absolutely no mention of how/why anything of her not receiving an abortion earlier so let’s not saint her for this.

FUCK OFF. Do you really think she tried all this because she felt she had options!?

This is why anti-choice assholes freaked out when Donald Tump said there should be punishment for women who have abortions. They are trying to push the narrative that it’s all about caring for women and protecting them from nasty doctors, but you know what? When the rubber hits the road and abortion is unavailable,…

I remember reading at some point that the reason the AMA lobbied for legal abortion was because doctors were literally traumatized by the parade of otherwise healthy young women bleeding to death in ERs from botched abortions. All these assholes smugly intoning “abortion kills” have no idea how many people die when…

And while we’re at it, lets repeal the ACA which provides birth control to millions of women without co-pay. They should fucking pay for their sluttiness.

Hey, somebody’s got to be punished, right?!? Hopefully there wasn’t any kind of ballplayer involved. Would hate for this to ruin their life.

No we can’t. That’s the problem. Pro Choice people see a troubled young girl, desperately in need of help, failed by draconian cuts of vital social services.

So courts are literally telling you what you can an can’t do within the boarders of your own body.

First of many of these kinds of stories, I suspect.

Pro-choice or pro-life, we can all agree that this is horrific. But by all means, let’s continue to restrict availability and access to safe and legal abortion, the vast majority of which will occur long before 24 weeks.

Does anyone know if there is a GoFundMe for her legal fees? Because I would gladly contribute to that.
