very recently taxes passed a number I've anti-abortion bills
and it makes it very very difficult for women in some parts of Texas to get
access to a safe abortion
but hospital admitting privileges it were included in the legislation and
that basically indicates that
a hot abortion clinic needs to have admitting privileges from hospitals
but a lot of the hospitals are run by conservative officials and they will not
grant those admitting privileges
as a result a number of %uh clinics shut down
and their areas %uh like Rio Grande Valley where they do not have
access to an abortion clinic so as a result the Center for Reproductive
Rights
is at suing the state of Texas
and this is gone through and appeals
and right now a panel of judges from the US Court of Appeals for the Fifth
Circuit
is hearing the case well one judge %uh has decided that you know what
and having a 150 mile drive to an abortion clinic is not on
undue burden for someone who wants to get an abortion in fact she says the
following:
do you know how long that takes in Texas at 75 miles an hour this is a peculiarly
lot and not congested highway and she's referring to the drive from Rio Grande a
valley
to Corpus Christi where they have an abortion clinic so what's the big deal
want you getting your you know issue be in just right there
no one day in well you know speed along if you will and
ironically that might endanger the unborn child she would she's obsessed by
right right doesn't seem that concern about the actual born person
but the and then the next after they do the whole
course ultrasound in try to talk you out a bit and do all that counseling et
cetera
and then you up and drive back home and then drive there again
to actually have the procedure and then drive back home what's the big deal
now which are you fails to keep in mind is
there's a 24-hour waiting period so you have to go to a clinic
you get a a forced alters out you have to look at the altar sound
and then after that you have to wait 24 hours you have to think about whether or
not you really want to go through with the abortion
and then if you do you come back and that's when you do the abortion right
so you don't just make one trip at its 300 miles round trip right you have to
do that twice
in order to get the abortion and on top of that you're not considering gas
you're not considering the resources necessary to make that trip and
you know but if you look at the number of people
that need abortions are want abortions about what is that 42 percent of them
are below the federal poverty level up so as a result or
federal poverty line as a result they can't afford
you know the extra resources necessary to go through with this
I don't get a body that either showscan so
what's the big deal you as we rush limbaugh like
will if you're poor wanting to go to the bridging get a sandwich
yeah like I got a nice car
I Y Ingo that sounds like a nice try one and I do that a couple times
0 you don't have a car cuz you're below the poverty line
you don't have the fuel to go back and forth you don't have the money to stay
at a motel near there
sorry Yahoo care so good I didn't want to have abortion anyway
I wanted you to have an undue burden anything about think about
the ramifications and offers like it right so if you are wealthy or peer
upper-middle-class
you have the resources if you don't want to have that child and you don't have to
you can somehow get yourself to that abortion clinic but
the poorest of the poor just simply don't have the resources to do it this
does serve as an undue burden so as a result
they will be forced to either have that baby
or they will do something unsafe to abort that baby
right and I think you have that baby in and all these conservative dreams come
true
what are you gonna do to help that woman raise that child got
you're gonna shut down any type of governmental program necessary to help
that kid
grow up to be healthy right but and why would they do anything ever he is born
at that point he is no longer unborn
