This is really an awesome article. It also points to something without saying it directly: When abortion is made illegal in one area, it just makes abortion unavailable to women who can’t afford to travel from one place where it’s illegal to another where it’s legal to have an abortion. Anti-abortion laws actually just make abortion accessible to rich women who can afford to go the mile, so to speak, to have an abortion, something women usually don’t want to do. It’s painful to have an abortion, it’s a very sad experience. Anyway, there’s always going to be a distant far off place where abortion is legal for wealthy women to travel to if they can’t abort where they live. Poor women who would benefit from an abortion are left to poverty if abortion is illegal where they live.
