The 31-year-old from Houston knew she did not want another baby. She already had three — her youngest, a boy, was just 6 months old. And she had just been laid off from her job in a medical billing office, another casualty of America’s growing unemployment crisis.
So she scheduled an abortion at a local clinic. But when she arrived for her appointment four weeks ago, the doors were locked and a sign was taped inside the glass: The clinic was closed.
Abortions in Texas were off after the state included them on a list of medical procedures that were not essential and needed to be postponed during the coronavirus pandemic.
The woman, who asked that her name not be used to protect her privacy, walked back to her car, took out her phone and immediately started Googling her options.
Her search would eventually involve four states and six clinics. Last week, she was 18 weeks pregnant and considering driving nine hours to a clinic in Wichita, Kan., with her infant son in the back seat.
“I’m just kind of overwhelmed and frustrated and stressed,” the woman said last week. “I just know I can’t handle another baby. I just know. I know physically, emotionally, financially.”
The fight over abortion rights, rather than receding into the background during the pandemic, has intensified as several states banned the procedure in recent weeks as part of emergency measures to fight the virus.
In six states, Alabama, Arkansas, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Texas, state authorities have included abortion as a nonessential medical procedure, arguing that postponement is necessary to preserve medical and protective equipment. Abortion rights groups say the pandemic is being used as a pretense to restrict abortion, and have sued five of the states to stop them.

Adoption is the best and it’s easy, I have some experience.
Anyone who won’t do that is just wanting immediate convenience.
For once I’d like to see an article titled:
“What It’s Like Being a Responsible Human Being, and Protecting Myself From Getting Pregnant, or Impregnating Someone Else in the First Place.”
“Last week, she was 18 weeks pregnant and considering driving nine hours to a clinic in Wichita, Kan., with her infant son in the back seat.
Lordy,what a sob story. She could fine a guy to have sex with but she can’t even get a ride or a sitter.

So having the murder clinic open potentially exposing all those inside and those who come in so that they all contribute to murdering a totally innocent life.After they clean up and go back to where they came they will potentially expose the rest they come in contact with. All of this during a PANDEMIC to kill a baby because the baby HOLOCAUST is much more important.
Or “abstinence.”
OMG do these idiots not know what the hell birth control is the stupidity in this country has come rushing to the forefront during this virus!! We should all see clearly NOW just how these Dems get elected!!
Imagine being the baby trying to avoid the (avoidable) abortion.
After 3 kids you’d think someone would have filled her in on the birds, the bees & birth control.
Just so frustrated because she can’t murder her child...
No sympathy for this lady at all.
Another amazing example of the pill and the condom failing at the same time!
“Who does a woman have to [censored] to get an abortion around here?” the woman said last week.
Fixed it.
Never mind keeping your legs closed!
You know what would make the abortion rate drop like a rock?
Every woman that goes in to have an abortion is sterilized immediately afterward and told “guess what you had your abortion but you were also sterilized; that way you can spread your legs all you want but you can never get pregnant. “
She knew she didn’t want another child after 3.
Why not get her tubes tied?
Is it because Planned Parenthood doesn’t want women to know how about this process?
How hard is it to get pregnant by a random one night stand right now?
