Poverty is a hurdle for women seeking abortions in rural America

Then maybe they shouldn't have sex and get pregnant in the first place. Duh.

Condoms, on average, cost 75¢ each and are available at such clinics for free. If there is a latex allergy (not likely in this case), then there are spermicidal gels, films and foams, which are much cheaper than that total of $575 she spent.

She could have probably put that money towards an IUD if she was so desperate to have sex with no protection. Most hospitals and doctors will agree to a payment plan if you have no insurance, or some hospitals will refer you to their philanthropy department if they have one.

The point is that there are many precautions one can take. Until my tubal and subsequent hysterectomy, I always used two forms of protection. It’s not difficult. I wasn’t exactly flush with cash, living on $600 each month; so if I was able to afford it, so could she.

Abortion isn’t a solution if there is no imminent loss of life resulting from the pregnancy.
