A Texas woman needed an abortion. Here’s how far California went to help her (barf alert)
Los Angeles Times ^ | May 6, 2022 | Anita Chabria

Stephanie had been dating a man who had been a friend for a few years. They met at a restaurant during a Sunday lunch, and in retrospect, Stephanie wishes she’d kept him “in the friend zone.” As soon as she knew she was pregnant, she also knew he wasn’t someone she wanted to be in a long-term relationship with. He was never going to be the kind of partner she could count on...

Stephanie, 33, prayed about the pregnancy. She ran through her savings being off work. She thought about the bills a baby would bring, what it would mean for her kids, and for her own future. Then she decided to have an abortion.

***After the positive test, she went to a Texas clinic. She was only about six weeks pregnant, but they found a heartbeat and that was that. Suddenly the Texas law was about her, and her future narrowed down to panic and fear.

*** She said the clinic basically kicked her out. She was crying, and she went back inside to ask if they knew anyone who could help her. The answer was a hard no. Luckily, a friend persuaded her to call Planned Parenthood in Texas that day, and that clinic got her in touch with the Los Angeles office. She said she was thinking there was no way she could get to California, but her friend told her to make the call anyway, a last-ditch hope.

***The coordinator who handled her call got to work, Stephanie said. Planned Parenthood booked her flights between Texas and L.A. — 1,242 miles each way — and paid for them. They arranged transportation and a hotel — and paid for those, too. They even gave her money to pay for incidentals such as food.

It could have cost Stefanie only one dime. She just had to hold it between her knees.

Abortions for the sake of convenience should not be convenient.

"Stephanie, 33, prayed about the pregnancy. .... Then she decided to have an abortion."

Completely unrelated. Only a Moloch worshipping idiot would believe that praying to Jesus would result in Jesus leading you to abort.

How did she run through her savings, being off work? Did she quit her job as soon as she found out she was pregnant? She was only 6 weeks pregnant! Most women work well into their pregnancy before they take maternity leave.

Whenever I run into a Planned Parenthood street preacher (they have them in DC), I ask it to apologize for its organization that tried to murder my daughter.

I think next time I’ll recite Matthew 18:7, as well.

The only women to NEED an abortion are those whose lives would be in danger if they didn’t have one. Everyone has the right to self-defense, even if it does kill someone else.

What a murderously selfish whore.

Plan B (MAP) is available without prescription at any drug store, or Target or Walmart. Up to three days to take it. They can ask the pharmacist. No ID required. It used to be over the counter where I worked, but too much shoplifting.

Translated-—”A woman wanted to kill her child and couldn’t do it in TX, so CA used tax money to kill her child”

There’s a difference between needing and wanting.

She prayed about it and decided prayer told her to kill it

I’d bet my life unless she was carrying Damien Thorne the Holy Spirit told her no such thing

She’s praying to the wrong party

The dark Prince or his minions

Pretty much any county health department will write a prescription and probably fill it at no charge.
