Sigh. Nearest clinic was over 70 miles away. And yet that's not considered "undue burden"? You go, my home state. Boo.

It was an infinitely larger burden for the now dead victim.

Want to get mad at someone in Pennsylvania? How about the Atty. General Kathleen Kane whose office saw fit to blame a rape victim for her own rape. Even though she worked at a prison and it was by an inmate with a previous history of abusing female staff?

The Pennsylvania attorney general’s office is blaming a former state prison clerk for her own rape, in response to a federal lawsuit the woman filed.

The 24-year-old typist was working at the state prison at Rockview in Bellefonte, Pennsylvania, when she was attacked in 2013. She was choked unconscious and raped for 27 minutes by inmate Omar Best, who had been convicted three times previously of sex-related crimes, and then been transferred from a different state prison for assaulting a female assistant there.

“Despite this knowledge, defendants … still allowed Omar Best to have unsupervised access to the offices of female employees,” according to the lawsuit, which also blames the state for the rape.

James Carville described Pennsylvania as Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, with Alabama in the middle. Having spent the first 18 years of my life there, I am in agreement with that.

Slate ran an article with more info on the woman now in jail for assisting her daughter in a medical abortion:

Opponents of abortion claim that they are motivated by a deep concern for the well-being of women and girls, and that they push for increasingly harsh restrictions on abortion out of a desire to keep women safe and healthy.

Huh? The opponents I've encountered and read about are motivated sometimes by a religious belief abortion is murder and sometimes for the well-being of the fetus. Only heard of women's safety and health as an after-thought from the lifers.

I don't think this woman belongs in prison. I also think that driving 75 miles each way and $300-$600 is not an 'undue burden', especially when the sperm donor and or his family should bear at least half the cost and assist in transportation.

What is an 'undue burden' is to expect individuals having nothing to do with the mistake these two made, paying for the solution.

The lawmakers who pass laws restricting access to abortion talk in terms of protecting women's health. Look up the stuff lawmakers said in Texas and Virginia when they passed laws requiring abortion clinics to follow rules that they considered unnecessary to impose on ANY other kind of outpatient clinic.

You have not, perhaps, ever been really poor, which is why losing your job because you had to take two days off work (24-hour waiting period in PA!) and take the only car for a reason you can't tell your partner because you're afraid of what he'll do), doesn't occur to you as a possible outcome. Poverty comes with a bunch of bad options that the middle class don't have to consider.

It sucks that she was honest with the hospital. The article pointed out that treatment for a naturally occurring miscarriage is no different than for a chemically induced one. And miscarriages aren't uncommon; the hospital would likely not have suspected anything. So much for the truth shall set you free.

I think people who routinely use abortion as a crutch in place of responsibility are worthless POS.

And I think people who deny women the right to make that choice are worthless POS as well

[dagolfer33]

I agree wholeheartedly. I would never want anyone to interfere with a person's right to cover up their mistakes. A super liberal America is undoubtedly the best place in the world to be.

Wow..getting raped is a mistake? And what does pro-choice have to do with politics? Thankfully plenty of Repubs aren't forcing their opinions on a woman

Oh it's great the loudmouthed Professor Xavier with AIDS has an opinion.

Butthurt LSU fan. Can't wait, TURDVILLE.

Myth 9: Women have multiple abortions rather than using birth control.

Fact: Most women who have abortions (52 percent) have had no previous abortions, and 26 percent have had only one previous abortion. Considering that most women are fertile for more than 30 years, and that birth control is not perfect, the likelihood of having one or two unintended pregnancies is very high.

The OP's article has no mention of rape, libturd.

Glad the liberals are forcing illegal immigrants upon us and all of their diseases.

Glad the liberals are forcing more of "dem programs" that haven't worked and never will on people that are beyond helping.

Weasels.

[Pants II]

A terrible mother helps her daughter try to cover a mistake by killing an unborn baby.

Propping up these idiots in the name of FREEDOM when there really isn't FREEDOM in this country is Alinksy-fueled horseshit.

You people are scum. Plain and simple.

I wasn't trying to generalize, I'm just pointing out serial aborists. I know they are out there. One of my exes worked in one of these clinics. I know first hand.

FWIW I absolutely agree on that extreme.. and noted you weren't refering to the OPs post and neither was I

i don't care if they have one or a hundred. if they don't wish to have a child, i'd imagine they'd better not have it. if they can't remember to take a pill, why would you want them to neglect a kid?
people are going to have sex, we always have-cause it's awesome.

but why people think these folks should have to add mistakes to mistakes already made is beyond me. they know better than anyone what their state is; if they can't or don't wish to be a parent, i'd rather they not be.
