      She lives in Houston. It’s a 12+ hour drive to the nearest state where it would be legal.

      Texas is seeking to punish women who leave the state for healthcare. They’ve currently been blocked at the federal court level from doing that, at least for now.

      None of this has been about punishing people who are able to take a few days off work to travel out of state for healthcare.

      Yeah because that’s the answer, force a woman who doesn’t want/cant have a child to incur travel expenses when it should be a Healthcare service offered nearby.

      Especially in this instance, where is an extremely traumatic pregnancy, let’s just go ahead and force her to seek travel accommodations on top of what she’s dealing with.

      What a compassionate person you must be.
