[quote=Anonymous]“She was just past 16 weeks pregnant. The Sunshine State limits abortions after six weeks, with an exception for pregnancies with fetal anomalies. But it soon became clear to Friend that doctors didn’t believe it applied to her situation. While waiting for the advanced test results, Friend’s doctor offered to confer with colleagues in nearby St. Petersburg to see if termination would be an option under the law in Florida.

When the results confirmed Trisomy 18, the doctor did not offer to connect her with abortion resources in Florida. Instead, she gave Friend two options: She could continue the pregnancy, or she could call the National Abortion Hotline, which helps people navigate abortion bans, including finding financial and logistical support for out-of-state travel. The subtext was obvious. Doctors didn’t believe Friend’s diagnosis qualified for a medical exception. If she didn’t want to face the high probability of watching her child die — or wait to miscarry — she’d have to travel out of state for an abortion.”
