With the Supreme Court’s monumental decision to overturn Roe V. WadeThe entire liberal media entered an collective time of grief, anger, mourning and grief after being released today. The first sign of this unpredicted keening arrived from The Washington Post’s Caroline Kitchener, whose article “Roe’s demise marks new phase in state-by-state battle over abortion” is little more than a massive freakout about the impending abortion bans in thirteen different states.
Kitchener starts by emphasizing who Kitchener believes our sympathies should be with: The abortionists
Just after 10 AM Eastern, the decision was taken. Many patients were scheduled for abortion treatment in clinics located within trigger-ban countries. Administrations were forced to address crowded waiting rooms to tell patients that the procedure could not legally be performed. This meant that lists of clinics outside of state had to be distributed to patients, who are often unable to travel long distances..
After lamenting the diminishing resources for women to seek out-of-state abortions, she highlights a foreign organization dedicated to providing illegal abortions, “Aid Access is an Austria-based organisation run by Rebecca Gomperts (Dutch physician). It mails abortion pills all 50 US states including more than a dozen that have outlawed abortions by mail.. Their orders from Texas increased by over 1,000 percent when the state enacted its six-week ban.”
Of course, no article would be complete without a reference to how this decision means everyone must vote Blue in November, “Results of midterm elections may impact whether abortion will remain legal in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan, states with Republican-led legislatures and Democratic governors who support abortion rights.”
Kitchener highlights the efforts of Planned Parenthood to ensure that women can still have abortions and that their coffers remain full.
Planned Parenthood is doing all they can to help as many people as possible. Southern Illinois is home to approximately 14,000 patients from out of state who are expected to seek care for abortion every year. The company has created a program to book appointments and help patients cover their travel costs.
She then focused on one particular case of an abortion provider moving across state lines because of the trigger ban, writing in the same sympathetic tone one would right about a refugee family, “In Fargo, N.D., Tammi Kromenaker has found a new location for Red River Women’s Clinic, the only abortion clinic in North Dakota, where a trigger ban will take effect within 30 days. The clinic will move across the river, to Moorhead, Minn., a state with abortion protections in place.”
Nowhere in this piece are mentioned the many crisis pregnancy centers across the country ready and willing to help women get the care they need so they don’t feel pressured to seek an abortion. It’s all about making it easier. The Post’s readers aware of the supposed heroic lengths abortion providers are going to make sure that they can stay open.
It is heartbreaking for these people to think of a world in which it is not legal or encouraged to kill children while they are still in their wombs. Disgusting.
