The shifting geography of abortion: Missouri women looking to Illinois, Kansas for care
Kansas City Star ^ | June 2, 2019 | Crystal Thomas

GRANITE CITY, ILL. Twenty-seven abortions were scheduled last Thursday at the Hope Clinic, and the license plates on cars parked in front of the low-rise building with bulletproof doors tell the story: Missouri. Missouri. Illinois. Illinois. Missouri.

The 45-year-old Granite City, Ill. clinic, located 10 minutes from downtown St. Louis, draws about half of its patients from Missouri. With the state’s new ban on abortions after eight weeks of pregnancy scheduled to take effect Aug. 28, and its lone provider — Planned Parenthood of St. Louis — fighting in court to keep its license, Hope Clinic is poised to play an even more significant role for women in the region.

In the last two weeks, the clinic has been inundated with calls. Patients, looking to schedule appointments, were confused. During an appointment, one asked if abortion was still legal in Missouri. (It’s legal in all 50 states, still.)

“Missouri women looking to Illinois, Kansas for care” What does “care” mean in this instance? It means the killing of an unborn human.

“Health care” now equals killing. This is what leftism has done to us.

Prior to roe vs wade most abortions were only done in NY and Texas.

This is why the left never tried to push abortion until they could do so on a national level.

As was pointed out at the time of Roe versus Wade, if only some places have abortion then the hedonists will tend to move there to enable their lifestyle (as we are seeing with pot smokers) and people raising families will tend to move to states where abortion is illegal.
Go ahead and throw pot in there too.

Over time, three things happen: the states where these things are legal bears all the financial burdens which people who live the party life cause unequally. Population in states not aborting their children rises comparatively, and the degree to which hedonists who make up the left congregate causes the left to cede control of the senate.

This is why they are so desperate for amnesty, and to shore up leftists in the supreme court.

...for care.

Yes, it shows so much care to kill little unborn humans.

“Twenty-seven abortions were scheduled last Thursday at the Hope Clinic.”

Hope Clinic?

What hope?

No hope for the baby, that is for sure...

There are more abortions in NYC than live births among blacks. Margaret Sanger would be proud of her legacy

“Care.” That’s what we are calling it now.

Judging from the video, they really do enjoy the killing of babies. We are the "mentally ill" ones who dare oppose the dirty deed according to the attendees of this rally.

The shifting biology of abortion:

When the woman is looking forward to a child it is a baby with all human rights.

When the woman doesn't want a child then it magically transforms into a fetus with no rights.
