It was a warm June afternoon when Judith Plaskow got the email reminding her of a guest arriving soon.
The woman staying at Plaskow's Washington Heights apartment was a stranger who needed to be picked up at the Port Authority bus terminal on Manhattan's West Side. She was young just 19 and had never been to New York City before. Plaskow guessed she'd be scared.
The woman wasn't coming to the big city for thrills or fun. There'd be no Broadway show, no visit to the Empire State building. She was making a 10-hour trip to receive safe, legal abortion care because where she is from, it is not possible to get it.
"I just want to help women be able to make a determination about something that alters the course of their lives," Plaskow, 72, a retired university professor, told NBC News in a recent interview.
Plaskow is part of the Haven Coalition, an all-volunteer group of dozens of New York City women who offer shelter to women who travel from places where it is difficult, if not virtually impossible, to get a safe and legal abortion. As restrictions on abortion increase across the U.S. (at least nine states have passed restrictive abortion laws this year intended to provoke a Supreme Court showdown over Roe v. Wade), the places where it remains legal to receive safe care and to receive such care later in a pregnancy have emerged as hotspots for women desperate to be seen by a provider who will perform the procedure.

Notice they will help her travel to kill the baby but no time trouble or expense to help her keep it.
why report on the underground that arranges “vacations” to the Estados Stupidos so that foreign nationals can give birth to anchor babies?
Actually PP will arrange abortions for them too! Thus defeating their purpose.
just indicating that there is a network of people who’s aim is to see that some women are giving birth in America (and they aren’t even facing hardship against giving birth in their home communities).
But in America there is a radical opposition to getting information to girls and women and pressuring them to obtain abortions rather than giving birth when there is an unplanned pregnancy.
Yep. The American marxists are all for American kids being aborted, but they LOVE foreign children.
they want all kids killed. ZPG - Zero Population Growth.
Margaret Sanger herself said “no more babies” for a period of 10 years, “choice” was not in her lexicon, she was against women having children even if they wanted them and was unsympathetic to the women who would be past child bearing age after her despotic moratorium “was lifted”.
Love the reference to “underground”. The real underground was a vehicle toward life for innocent slaves. This was one is a vehicle toward death for innocent babies.
What euphemisms! The modern underground railroad is helping women access care, quietly.
I was not kidding!

“Supreme Court Will Decide if Illegal Immigrants Have a Right to Abortion”

Care.
Yeah right.
NBC is Comcast, but you loyal Comcast subscribers don’t seem to give a damn.
What’s the big deal with having a baby? As a man I can at least imagine it can be painful, distracting, inconvenient. But there can be rewards for carrying a child to full term.
Why can’t a confused, perhaps lonely woman, especially a young healthy woman such as the 19 year old described in this ‘story’, why can’t she simply bring the child into the world and allow for adoption?
We get it that having a child is a big responsibility. There are people that are not ready emotionally, spiritually, they not mentally mature enough to care for and raise a child even if there are helpful groups that can ease the burden.
I have read account after account of childless couples that are willing to spend whatever they can to have a chance at raising a child, of being the best parents they can be. Is that all hyped? Is it mostly fiction? No, it’s not.
I have known children raised in loving adopted homes, not foster homes, but homes where they had a name, an identity, a place in the community.
There are two persons close to me that were put up for adoption as infants and both turned out wonderfully. They live full lives with stable marriages, having three fully grown children each. And these two persons were born in 1957 and 1960. They were pre-Roe children put up for adoption. If they had been conceived after 1973, they would likely not be alive today, never having been born.
This young 19-year old does not need to put her health, both physical and spiritual, into the hands of strangers who will help facilitate the slice and dice of the living and growing child within her.
After reading of the trafficking of aborted baby parts, of the use of aborted tissue in the production of ‘anti-aging’ cosmetic creams, of the Satanic practices of the elites such as those in the circle of the Epstein monster, of the miscarriage of justice concerning those held in legal jeopardy because they exposed Planned Parenthood for selling aborted baby parts, I think people can see this for what it is, a modern child sacrifice cult for who knows what reason other than for the ritual practices of sick, sadistic, anti-life luciferian orders whose minds are so twisted that they can never be understood by others not in their world.
Understanding child sacrifice falls in the same category as understanding pedophilia, necrophilia, bestiality, cannibalism. It is so bizarre to human society, it cannot even be imagined why-how a human being could think to engage it. Cannibalism has some connection to survival but is still in another dimension of thought. The only thing we might imagine is the people that engage in these ‘pursuits’ are under some sort of drugged influence or they have diseased brains (seriously).
I have known one person telling me of having a sibling, a younger brother by two years, who from the beginning never exhibited normal feelings and sensitivities, a psychopath with cold, dark eyes, devoid of warmth, laughter, joy.
I have known persons with severe epileptic conditions and others with related bipolar disorders. They have brain diseases which are no fault of their own. They are nevertheless very dangerous. But for a moment it is possible to see what insanity, real insanity looks like, the demon-possessed type of disorder recorded through the ages. There are treatments for these episodic conditions.
I have been confronted by Satanists at parks, inside shopping establishments, not often but enough to see such disturbed individuals exist. One having a pentagram tattoo on the forearm said out loud the Bible encouraged rape and murder; bizarre observations to say the least.
Back to the 19-year old traveling to NYC to get herself sliced and diced by strangers, why? Ok, she wants to hide it from those around her. We imagine she thinks to just get the ‘problem’ fixed, done and over with.
Within two miles of me there is a school for girls, yes a school for teen girls that got pregnant and need to step out of their normal walk in life to carry their child to birth either to become a parent or put the child up for adoption.
Why are the so-called concerned NYers that are so virtuously pledged to ‘help’ the 19-year old of this story, why are they so hellbent (pun intended) to see death for this girl’s child? Why aren’t they instead setting up schools and facilities that allow for such girls to bring their babies to full term and be born to life?
Where are the parents? Where are the family members? If the family is dysfunctional and incapable of stabilizing such young women, where are the priests, pastors, rabbis with their congregations ready to intervene and help?
She made a mistake but she doesn’t need to make another one. And who knows, if the experience of giving birth is a positive one, maybe she will go on to work in facilities that will help other girls and women deal with the complex emotions and conditions that she experienced herself.
Abortion is not the answer. Abortion feeds all the wrong values and instincts. Those advocating it should think of offing themselves to show how it’s so easy to die by example. Harsh to say I know but these Luciferians should put their practices to the test by showing ‘the way forward’ to whatever hell they worship. Of course, we won’t let them do that, but neither should we let them push for death especially when it involves confused,vulnerable women.
Is the Witch of Chappaqua listening?
Health care = abortion. Another Orwellian term of the left.
Use your "vaunted" NBC News writing skills to describe the one-way, forced death trip the Baby is on, with NO recourse to "Choice" as spouted by Planned Parenthood.
Describe the Kill and the Dissection step-by-step so that your left-wing readers can enjoy and celebrate it as they have their morning Starbucks and bagels.
Adam, be sure and add details about how any failed-kill, post-birth chances at life for the Baby are snuffed out by the Planned Parenthood staff "leaning-in" with their Blood-stained gloves and Baby-killing utensils.
Also, be sure and detail to your readers exactly how much money the Bloody Killers at Planned Parenthood will reap from each of the poor Baby's individual body parts.
As it was back in 1969 when my mom first got involved in the Pro Life movement.
At that time the entire issue was women traveling to New York to abort their babies.
What if I wanted to hire a murderer, too? Will Planned Butcherhood give me to passage to Mexico so I can hire one? These women are HIRING MURDERERS. In a decent country, such evil would be ILLEGAL.
Wow,it’s like the Underground Railroad for slaves but now it’s the underground to butcher babies!!!! America has truly progressed to something we can all be proud of!!!!
That would be a good undercover project...have a woman go in and ask for help having the baby and with initial costs, and recording them trying to get her to kill it!
