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.

And they have the nerve to call the innocent child a "mistake".

There is a multitude of birth control options, abortion is the worst.

And it appears she never even contacted the man (father of the baby) about the baby, but then went straight to the mass murderers at Planned Parenthood.

…the right of consenting adults to engage in same-sex sexual activity…

Damn, I never knew that was a right! Silly me! Is that the 69th Amendment?

How did this “intrepid” reporter find Stephanie?

Fictional “Stephanie” should have either availed herself to birth control or self-control.

BIRTH CONTROL pills are as easy to get as M & M’s.

Over the counter-—

No questions asked.

Less than $20.

First of all, she could have taken a Greyhound bus to New Mexico and got it done. She didn’t need to fly to California.

Get ready for the liberal press sob stories like this.

You mean to tell me she’s 33 years old and she doesn’t have the common sense to use birth control if she’s having sex with a man she doesn’t want in her life?

Remember those media stories about anti-vaxxers who got COVID and died? There was like a new one every day. All a little different but all the same? The “can’t get an abortion” stories will be just like that. Look for AP bylines. Probably most of them fake.

Pretty certain you need a prescription for birth control pills.

“He was never going to be the kind of partner she could count on...”

so why did you sleep with him? or better, why did you not use protection?

go kill a baby because you are stupid and irresponsible. Good luck facing God with that, when the time comes.
