Texas Women Drive Hours for Abortions after New Law (barf)
AP NEWS ^ | October 14, 2021 | SEAN MURPHY

SHREVEPORT, La. (AP) — The 33-year-old Texas woman drove alone four hours through the night to get to the Louisiana abortion clinic for a consultation. She initially planned to sleep in her car, but an advocacy group helped arrange a hotel room.

Single and with three children ranging from 5 to 13, she worried that adding a baby now would take time, food, money and space away from her three children. She doesn’t have a job, and without help from groups offering a safe abortion, she said, she probably would have sought another way to end her pregnancy.

“If you can’t get rid of the baby, what’s the next thing you’re going to do? You’re going to try to get rid of it yourself. So I’m thinking: ‘What could I do? What are some home remedies that I could do to get rid of this baby, to have a miscarriage, to abort it?’ And it shouldn’t be like that. I shouldn’t have to do that. I shouldn’t have to think like that, feel like that, none of that.

“We have to be heard. This has got to change. It’s not right.”

She was one of more than a dozen women who arrived Saturday at the Hope Medical Group for Women, a single-story brick building with covered windows just south of downtown Shreveport. Some came alone. Others were accompanied by a friend or a partner. Some brought their children because they were unable to get child care.

"While she was at the clinic, her husband waited for hours in the car with her young son, who is a toddler and is still breastfeeding. They had no one to watch him."

So her toddler son is in the car while she kills his sibling? No words.

Premeditated conspiracy murder. Call this evil what it is. May God help the poor toddler. The foolish can REPENT!

Single and with three children ranging from 5 to 13

There is a possible third or fourth solution I see there. Adoption, marriage, holding a penny between your knees.

Something that makes most pregnant women stop and think is to see the 4D Ultrasound or sonogram of their baby. So abortion centers won't show those to pregnant women.

“Single and with three children ranging from 5 to 13”

I wonder if the kids all have the same father? What is also scary is that there that many who will swallow the overall premise of this article and that the question I ask in my comment here would never, ever occur to them.

Gee… I wonder how much effort they made to PREVENT a pregnancy in the first place…

Wait, what is a single mother of three doing having sex? Sounds like she needs to get her priorities straight. Abstinence is an easy and simple way to avoid unwanted pregnancies. Women should only lay down with their husband and accept what God gives them (whether that is another child or no child at all).

Different women. I cannot imagine being a husband sitting in the car with a five year old while the wife is killing my child

This is not the first story I’ve posted that is like this. One I posted was a husband with his 5 year old. Then again, I see videos with husband/boyfriends taking their women to the clinic so...

Ah, but they don’t want that! Don’t you know? It’s all about “me, me, me”...what makes ME happy, what brings ME pleasure. The life they created? Doesn’t matter. It gets in the way of what THEY want.

And to Hell with what is right.

Well, unless they repent before Almighty God, they’re headed there themselves. For eternity.
