When 45-year-old Victoria realized she was five weeks late and the lines showed as positive on two pregnancy tests, the New Orleans resident dreamed up a plan to get an abortion.
Traveling out of state was the only abortion option for Victoria, who asked CNN to withhold her last name out of fear of backlash against her and her family. Louisiana is one of several states that have essentially banned all abortions.
“It was probably one of the hardest things I’ve had to go through, from the moment of discovering that I was pregnant at age 45 to actually having to have to take time off work, travel across the country, do a meeting with a doctor, and then take the pills and then skedaddle back home and then go to work like nothing had happened,” Victoria told CNN of her experience earlier this year.
Victoria’s story about the distance she traveled and the hardships she endured to get an abortion reflects a wider American reality, where women seeking the procedure must navigate through a patchwork of states with varying levels of access.
The average travel time to an abortion facility more than tripled, from less than 30 minutes to more than an hour and a half, after the US Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022, according to a November study in the Journal of the American Medical Association. And for women in Texas and Louisiana, average travel times to the nearest abortion facility were seven hours longer – almost a full workday in travel time to get an abortion.
Victoria says she was grateful she could drop everything and afford to spend $1,000 for the procedure, including same-week airfare with connections both ways and appointment and medication fees.

That’s right.
Well, duh! Don’t you think the baby would want to live?!
It’s not working for me either.
Amen 🙏🏻!
What baffles me is how she got pregnant, after her double mastectomy at age 43 or so.. What kind of guy did the deed? Who did the deed?
Exactly!
You are correct!
bearth indeed. Controlling her bearth would be a precursor to prevention.
That’s true, sad to say.
And she has no feelings of guilt over her actions, just like a certain nazi war criminal named Gyorgy Schwartz.
It was the biggest blessing she had ever been given. Proof that God loves her and wants her to have joy in her golden years ahead. And a big chance for the father to be a real, genuine good man.
And they went to great lengths to destroy and discard this child.
Smh
OMG - the horror. I can see why CNN is in a tizzy - - an extra HOUR.
This “Victoria” person is nothing but a selfish hedonistic monster who deserves to suffer all her days!
Who got drunk enough to boink a 45 year old?
"Hey! It was last call at 2 am."
Yet in this case, as in any number of other cases, the guy did not choose to take advantage of them.
They refuse to be responsible adults, they just want to be little f bunnies and then play victim and so many people buy this act.
Let's agree that both sides that engage in unprotected and uncommitted sex that result in a child being killed are at fault.
Reality remains no matter what you "think".
She killed her baby.
Realty.
Think of it like a vasectomy. Doesn't mean that the guy no longer has his sexual organs.
Come to Minnesota the abortion Auschwitz
Yes, there is no level of depravity they won’t sink to, sad to say.
