"I had to explain to her that she’s just going to have to turn around and go home, because unfortunately, she felt she was over the limit. She'd made arrangements to be off work, made child care arrangements, rented a car," Gallegos said.

Yes!!

Most will still get an abortion. 90 percent of women in Texas still went on to have an abortion after the Texas law was passed.

They’ll drive to New Mexico, make a day out it.

I don't know a single woman in my life, or even an acquaintance, who knew she was pregnant before 6 weeks.

If you dislike OK laws, leave the state.

Media is so one sided on this issue and doesn’t even mention the other sides reasons for being against abortion

It is telling that the word “doctor” or “medical” doesn’t appear even once in this article. Ignores that that Roe ensured abortions could be performed safely by licensed doctors, with all the sanitary conditions and support that other medical procedures require.

Justices 'Frankly Lied Under Oath' About Respecting Roe, Says Jayapal'We're going to have to take to the streets, and we're going to have to take to the ballot box.'

Barack Obama and Joe Biden lied about codifying Roe v. Wade. They can still do it today. Yes, today. But they won’t. Now you know why-$$$. You could just, you know, pass a law.

If Roe falls, other rights could follow, warn Bay Area legal expertsThe draft opinion by Justice Samuel Alito suggesting the Supreme Court might overturn Roe v. Wade is based on legal arguments that could have impacts far beyond abortion and lead to other laws and rights being eliminated.

How about providing facts, not feelings for a change.
