When 45-year-old Victoria realized she was five weeks late and the lines showed as positive on two pregnancy tests, the New Orleans resident dreamed up a plan to get an abortion.

Here’s a story about the extreme hardship one woman went through to secure an out of state abortion in the US. Long flights, delays, and high cost, never mind the stigma and need to keep it quiet. And this woman was among the lucky who can afford the trip and procedure, and take the time from work.

It’s heartbreaking to read stories like these.

    But news stories like this encourage people to take an active interest. I don’t think anyone is suggesting the media are highlighting this out of the goodness of their hearts but that’s the same for everything they publish.

      I wish i could see it the same way as you, that it encourages people to take active interest. but to me it just seems like rage porn. either way atleast most reasonable people are on the same page with abortion, its only the religious extremists that see it differently.
