She is alleged to have aborted the fetus in April. The SCOTUS leak was in May. She was 23 weeks pregnant, she should have consulted with a doctor early in 2022. Tough to blame this on the Roe controversy when it hadn't even started yet.
Also, there are three Planned Parenthood clinics in Omaha, Nebraska, less than two hours from Madison County. This young woman was less than a year from being legally an adult. I'd give it good odds that my 11 year old daughter could figure out she should talk to a doctor in this situation, and I sure as hell hope that by 17 she's definitely figured that out.
- Only 3 clinics in the state, all 2 hours away
- Only 1 clinic performs abortion at 20 weeks
- Requires a 24 hour wait period by law
- Requires parental consent under 18
- Between 16-20 weeks, costs $2500-$5000
These are all pretty significant barriers for anyone without resources, especially a teen trying to hide her pregnancy.
