No, unless she qualifies for being on the TLC show of not knowing she was pregnant and gave birth as some big shocker, I do not think this was her first choice at all. At that late of a stage into your pregnancy, to put a wire hanger into yourself, into your vagina screams desperation or some mental problem. She did…

Im sorry, but taking two trips a few counties over seems like a small price to pay to terminate a life that you created.

Again, I support a women’s right to chose what to do for her health.

I’m pretty sure this person is a troll. What pro-choice person speaks says women getting abortions talks about having to go to another county being “a small price to pay” to “end a life” and talks about how women should know better because they know sex makes babies. And how it’s a “pretty fucking huge decision.” I…

What’s ridiculous is even the women having approved, god-fearing sex with their husbands while faithfully taking birth control occasionally get unexpectedly pregnant. I live with my boyfriend and missed my unfailingly regular period last month. If I had been pregnant, I would have had an abortion. I’m 41 and never…

...and *you* are so sure she’s an asshole? How does that work?

I’m just gonna leave this here.

I don’t know why I didn’t check your lack of comment history earlier...My apologies, I didn’t realize you were the “I just made this account to make obviously contradictory comments on this particular issue” kind of troll. Carry on.

Spoken like a privileged individual who has never known true hardship. Must be nice. There are folks who struggle to cover five miles to get to the grocery store for sustenance that they will literally die without. I know, I’ve been one of them.

Why waste my time “explaining” anything to you? If you don’t see what the problem is at this point, you never will. Maybe someone else will bother.

I get that it’s fucked up. I totally agree that it’s completely FUBAR.

“Y’all are so eager to make her some type of pillar for anti-choice when you have no idea whether or not she’s just an asshole.”

So you’re pro-choice...but: Im sorry, but taking two trips a few counties over seems like a small price to pay to terminate a life that you created. You may not want a baby, but jesus christ do people really not know what the possible results are when you have unprotected sex?

And it’s more fucked up because poor women are way less likely to be able to afford to keep a child, to which the right says, “no problem! Give it up for adoption!” Which is a) despicable and b) not as viable an option as it once was since people have so many ways they can become parents these days.

If you are poor and have to travel for half a day just to get to the clinic that does abortions because access to them has been cut off anywhere near you, yes, two trips is an issue. That means two days off of work, which for an hourly worker, means no pay for those days, as well as the money to travel in the first…

I understand your point, but have you considered whether it’s really worth making? The vast majority of abortions at this stage are done for reasons that are at the least sympathetic, and could be prevented with laws or care. She’s going to be on posters talking about the horrors of abortion by people who want to make…

In Washington, it’s not exactly “free” but there are organizations that will help you obtain an abortion regardless of income. One of my friends had an abortion in Eastern WA (I’m being vague to protect privacy) about 5 years ago when she was a freshman in college. She didn’t have any money so the clinic found ways to…

I live in Canada. It’s cold but we have free health care so it’s a fair trade imo.

So a bunch of people tell you you are wrong and you’re just gonna double down stick your fingers in your ears and go “la, la, la, la, Sunshine and rainbows.”?

Maybe if you lived in reality everything would make more sense to you. If a person doesn’t have the money for an abortion at 12 weeks, then it is unlikely they have even more money for a late term abortion. This is one of the results of restricting abortion access. They aren’t targeting all women with these laws. They…
