A Texas woman needed an abortion. Here’s how far California went to help her (barf alert)

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.

Promiscuity amongst high school girls today is off the chart

Encouraged albeit it’s a minefield with woke culture....

I have no answers

Nobody dates

You’re hot the girl takes you

If she likes you maybe she’ll dare u later

Ironically always hormy lads are far less masculine in white professional class than ever

Country boys still have brows

Young boys are afraid to notice women or comment openly or whistle

Girls are not encumbered the same...they are empowered ...

I have been raising kids since 1988 and watched it change

Makes sense if you’re a complete psycho.

Her mistake was having sex with a man she would never consider as a father for a child.

The Crux of the issue. One of the greatest gifts God gives to women is their purity. It also takes two to tango and boys need to be taught to respect women, stay away from loose women and only get involved with women they would be proud to bring home to meet their family.
