Planned Parenthood is blasted for refusing disabled NYC writer, 30, an abortion because she uses a WHEELCHAIR: Woman was forced to pay four times more - $2,000 - for termination at another clinic

Planned Parenthood refused a disabled artist an abortion because she uses a wheelchair, forcing the woman to spend four times more on a termination elsewhere.

Roxie Schiebergen, 30, got pregnant a month into a relationship with a man in the spring of 2021, and wanted to abort it.

Schiebergen told The New York Times: 'I was in a brand-new relationship,' she said. 'Having a family was something I wanted to do with someone I loved, and I didn't know him.'

The artist, who has been disabled since a car crash as a toddler, contacted her local Planned Parenthood clinic in NoHo, New York City, and booked an abortion which was set to cost her $500.

'I was crying from the start,' she told the New York Times. 'I told (the woman booking the appointment) I had a spinal cord injury and rods in my back from scoliosis,' but added that she did not mention anything about being in a wheelchair.

'When people hear the word 'wheelchair,' she said, 'they make decisions for me about what I can and cannot do without having any understanding of what I do for myself every single day.'

But just hours after that call to make the appointment, a Planned Parenthood worker called Schiebergen back to say: 'We don't do procedures for people in a wheelchair.'

Schiebergen was distraught and ended up having a termination at another facility in Midtown, which cost $2,000.

She the ordeal left her feeling 'defeated and powerless.'

'I felt like this can't be real,' she said. 'I started bargaining. I said something along the lines of, 'I can get on a table by myself. I'm very independent.' This was through tears.'

No sympathy for this fetal murderess. If she’s able enough for fornication, she’s able enough to carry her baby to term.

I am having trouble working up any sympathy.

Ladies, if you want to get a Mr Right then I would suggest you seek to be a Ms Right first and not hand yourself out to whomever is on hand like some party favor.

And guys, maybe you shouldn’t be surprised that you never find a Ms Right when you’re bonking everything that moves?

This world needs more sexual repression.

Woman has sex with a man she admit she “doesn’t know”

Doesnt know enough if she’d want to have a family with him.

Where’s this woman being an adult and being responsible?

Her excuse is that of a pre-teen little girl who still plays with Barbie dolls.

Question on annual budget of Planned Parenthood has this reply on Google Wikipedia:

“Its combined annual revenue is US$1.3 billion, including approximately $530 million in government funding such as Medicaid reimbursements.”

Still true today.

Seems like a major civil rights violation.

Somehow, I suspect there’s more to the story.

The second paragraph got me.:

'Roxie Schiebergen, 30, got pregnant a month into a relationship with a man in the spring of 2021, and wanted to abort it."

Not a 'he', not a 'she', but an 'it'.

Evil woman and EVIL PRESS!

The question is why didn’t she use any birth control? If she has been ion relationships before surely she knows she can get different forms of birth control.

This is my main problem with Abortion, using it as brith control especially in this day and age.
