[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Liberals just need something to be upset about these days.  We’re a million miles away from Roe being overturned.  Even if it is, abortion will become state by state.  Do you honestly believe places like NY or CA or NJ ever turn red enough that no abortions will be offered anywhere?

As for --- OMG poor people can’t afford that.  Give me a break, I’m having a very hard time believing the Harvard educated, raised in Greenwich/Long Island biglaw women I work with are soooo personally concerned about ghetto black women or rural Indiana white women.  And let’s be honest, how many abortions does the average women get in a lifetime? Across all women, I bet it’s 0.  But even if I’m wrong and it’s 1 or 2.  I’m sorry if you need to get rid of a kid, 2x in your life, you will borrow from your baby daddy or a get pay day loan, get yourself on a greyhound bus and a motel 6 room and get it done.  This is America, not rural Africa or South America; even poor people have access to credit cards – charge it all and pay it back for years, you’ll still get what you need.  And if you don’t have credit, see above re pay day loans.  It’s not THAT big of a deal.

Just because your capacity for empathy is broken doesn’t mean everyone’s is. We are not all so hateful and ignorant as you.[/quote]

Why is it ignorant and hateful? Aren't there financial solutions there to get an abortion if you need it? What the gov't has to provide the abortion AND make it as convenient as possible for you? [/quote]
DP.
Yeah, you’re broken. Abortion is part of women’s healthcare, like it or not. It’s not reasonable to expect women to have to travel across the country, after arranging childcare, for [i]healthcare[/i]. Women who need abortions in certain parts of the country already have to do this, and it is absurd and un-American. It is inherently misogynistic.[/quote]

Why must everything be provided to you AND be convenient? How about it (in this case abortion) is provided BUT you inconvenience yourself to avail yourself of one? What exactly is so absurd there?[/quote]

Distance creates barriers. The greater the distance the more likely that it isn’t going to happen:

“"The other thing we found in our research in Texas was that these geographic barriers could also create delays for patients before they could access abortion care," Grossman said.

"It takes time for women to arrange transportation, to gather the money together to pay for transportation. Sometimes, a woman has to decide to tell someone she wouldn't normally tell about the procedure in order to get that person to drive her to the clinic," he explained. "All these things take time, and this is obviously a time-sensitive procedure."

Greater distance to travel, then, meant some women had abortions in the second trimester.

"And a few women were unable to get the abortions they wanted," Grossman said.”
