After the fall of Roe v. Wade, some travel hundreds of miles to get abortions. This is the story of a girl who couldn't

Disgusting, just $2 million for maternal care? They spend more money on highways than they do for providing care so people can have healthy deliveries and abortions. I sure hope none of the law makers ever have to live in the hell they created in Mississippi.
They don't live in that Mississippi they live in the other one. The one that the hell they created keeps going.
WTF is wrong with this stupid broken ass country. Hey lets force woman to have a baby but not provide medical care or anything for the mother and kid after its born. How have we allowed life saving medical care to be for profit? How the fuck have "We the people" not burned this shit to the ground yet?
Because they might win the lottery!
Or because they're sure that the oligarchs that picked this country clean having started in the 80s will whip their dicks out and start raining down golden showers of prosperity like they promised they would as long as we gave them all the money half a century ago.
The peasants have been too deluded into the false hope that they'll one be the fuckers in this rigged system one day... so why tear down the system that's beaten them down, when it's their turn any day now to kick all the fuckees when they're down like they were?!
TLDR snake oil salesmen never went away, they just took over. That's why we don't rise up. The vast majority would have to see through their obvious bullshit, and that's too much for some, as they'd have to admit to themselves that they fell for it first. The sunk cost fallacy.
That and I am convinced that they keep most people just comfortable and distracted enough so that they think they have just a little more than they are willing to lose. You know bread and circuses, its been working for the last few 1000 years. I also have to wonder if the controlled media doesn't keep people afraid and angry at their neighbor so that we don't all band together and do something about it.
They’re monumentally stupid and/or willing fools.
She and her child will make fine capital batteries for our glorious owner class.
Their desperation derived from social policy will increase their productivity output at menial labor. Which means growth, growth, growth!
This is great news for our beloved capitalist economy! May it metastasize even after all the peasants are dead!
For me,the measure of what's a 1st/3rd world country (not in the original meaning, in the developed/developing country meaning) is about how well the poor are treated. You can live well in any country on this planet if you have enough money.
But if the poor are left suffering just because, that's a 3rd world country. And the USA might be just the one with the richest oligarchs.
Another victory for the abstinence only crowd. Now they can point to her as an example of the hardships that come from premarital sex/getting raped. "Girl has cell clump safely removed after being victim of violent crime" doesn't make good marketing material for their message. Scaring teens away from sex has worked so well in the past, why stop now just because of that pesky little thing called data?
Ashley’s face goes blank again. She is a mother now.
This line just broke me. What the fuck is wrong with this country?
It's a religion problem. Vulnerable people make easier victims for the collared crooks so they have an interest in promoting misery. Tell them that their troubles are a result of sin and take credit for the incremental improvements that come when you bounce off the rock-bottom times in life.
Never mind all the time and money spent obstructing things like access to contraception and abortion that could have turned mountains back into molehills.
“She has decided that when she grows up, she wants to be a nurse too. “To help people,” she says.” 😭
So, she's 13 and we're blaming the lack.of abortion as the problem? SHE'S 13! That should be the problem.
EDIT: What's really disturbing is that people on this thread care more about abortion rights that the fact that a 12 year old was raped. You SICK FUCKS!
They can both be problems. We're not limited to just one.
Stopping rape is a slightly more complex problem than lack of access to abortion, considering the latter was significantly less of a problem last year.
Well, she was raped, so I don’t really know what her age has to do with it here (other than to make it maybe subjectively more bad than just regular old adult-on-adult rape, but I digress).
First, whoever raped her belongs in that special level of Hell reserved for rapists, child molesters and Justin Beiber fans. I've said this before, there should always be an exemption for rape, incest and medical necessity. This is one area that I disagree with other fellow conservatives. It's a fucking disgrace that there aren't exceptions.
It’s ONE of the problems. Along with a child being raped and the police donning jack all until the press contacted them, and then they did the bare minimum. And the fact she had to have this baby she doesn’t want and can’t care for is now her lifelong problem. And a lot more women and children like this girl are gonna have to bear children they don’t want because of these abortion laws.
Please clarify.
