The nearest abortion clinic – in Chicago – was too far away and too expensive for her mother to provide her with the procedure

I will fight my ass off to place my children into a conservatorship or even frame them for a crime if they ever consider moving to a place like Mississippi

I assume the girl asked help from the republicans around here, but they couldn't hear her ask over the sound of themselves screaming about how much they want to "protect children".

I was reading a description of this popular novel the other day. It was set in America and was supposedly fiction...

The novel explores themes of subjugated women in a patriarchal society, loss of female agency and individuality, suppression of women's reproductive rights, and the various means by which women resist and try to gain individuality and independence.

I just woke up and this almost made me puke. This is sick.

I see clinics in Carbondale, about 5 hours South of Chicago. I wonder why that wasn't an option?

Probably no driver's license or car, no money, no help, etc.

First and foremost It's none of your fucking business why a woman seeks an abortion.

But if you're also suggesting that this girl did a quote unquote bad thing by being raped, you can absolutely get fucked.

a man came into their front yard while she was making TikToks outside while her uncle and sibling were inside and assaulted her. Ashley said she did not know who the man was and that no one witnessed the attack.

Really now? Getting r-ped in the front yard of your house, in broad daylight, while there's people inside? The girl must come up with something more convincing. I think the mom just came up with the story to be able to get an abortion legally, because in most states incest and r-pe are the only exceptions to the abortion ban. That's why some conservatives are against these exceptions, because women will lie about getting r-ped to get an abortion. Police should collect the child's DNA. The father will show up in a database sooner or later.

Edit: yea, just keep down voting like cowards without giving a counter argument, cuz you don't have one!

@Zapdrive @MicroWave

Are you assuming the front yard had no shrubs or bushes that someone could hide in?

Pfft.
