i live in a red state (Louisiana), and I am having a lot of trouble coping with the fact that half of the country is okay with this. Female suffering. Her spine is fused, her cervix is deviated, and carrying a baby can easily cause her spine to break during the pregnancy, and because her cervix and uterus is damaged from child sexual abuse, giving birth to term will kill her and make her bleed out completely. But because her life isn’t in immediate danger NOW, no abortion will be granted until she has irreversible damage to her body. all of the doctors agree this damage will happen but they cant do anything until it does. ARE YOU KIDDING ME…… I am so disgusted and pro-birthers, you have so much suffering to answer for and I will NEVER be friends with someone who wants forced birth. Forced birth is torture.
EDIT: She has a plan— I just cant believe this is our reality in 2025.

r/auntienetwork can help her get out of state and get the care she needs. I’m so sorry this is happening to her.
r/abortion can help!! There are ways to access abortion care even if you live in a state where it’s illegal.
She should be able to get an abortion but practically speaking she might not be fully out of options. Given her own health complications if she can’t get out of Louisiana in time for an abortion she might be able to get an induction as soon as the fetus reaches viability, especially if she can get somewhere without these draconian abortion laws.
Also I do have an idea of what you’re going through emotionally, had a friend who was sexually assaulted as a child and dealt with a lifetime of trauma as a result. The person who did that to her indirectly killed her tbh. I’m so sorry you’re both going through this.
Omg I hate this country
Several states are wonderful for Camping this time of year. Nevada, California, Colorado.
please get her out of state. there are resources available and thousands of people willing to help.
Please get in touch with out of state resources
Idaho has increased their life flights out of state due to “pregnancy complications” which is code for life isn’t in danger “yet” but best course of action is…
Louisiana can go to fuckin hell – it already is!
It’s not time to sit around and complain about this states abortion laws. If her life is in danger, she should absolutely go to another state for immediate medical help to protect her life.
I’m so angry that we have to beat around the bush with this bullshit. What did people do when alcohol was illegal? Still drank alcohol.
It’s about goddamn time we took our life into our own hands instead of waiting around until we’re almost dead just because a politician (not a doctor, not a scientist) told us that a fetus was a child. Fuck em all.
Western Washington in spring/summer is really an underrated gem. Cool breezes, flowers everywhere, blue skies. Your friend should visit. I know a place she could stay for a few days while she checks out the area.
Pro birthers are the meanest people on this planet. May they all rot in their hells that they say they believe in.
does she want to visit me in Illinois? I have a couch and a hatred for red states that’s unrivaled!
Glad people are posting resources but yeah don’t share your friend’s plan online.
It’s hard to imagine the consequences until it comes with a very personal story.
Great time of year to visit beautiful California!
Its so beautiful outside. California springs just can’t be beat with the riot of blooms, and colors. You guys should visit if you haven’t been there before and seen true spring
I hate to say this, but please delete your Reddit account. Create a new one and just post cat photos and gumbo recipes.
Michigan is beautiful this time of year. All the plants are blooming and the sunsets over the lakes are gorgeous.
California has nice weather.
Time for your friend to destress with a trip to Europe. Amsterdam is great in Spring.
