- The Pennsylvania descision stinks, for many reasons. The bulk
- of Pennsylvania's population is not urban. It is rural. So if a
- poor rural woman wants to get an abortion, she has to use some of
- her limited financial resources to get to a larger city that will
- have an aborion clinic. Furthermore, she now has to find a place
- to stay overnight in this city, further adding to her money woes.
- Assuming she is one of the nine of ten women whose abortions take
- place in the first trimester, she is compelled to view a bunch of
- photos of fetuses developed way beyond the one in her.
- The Pennsylvania law is, like every other restriction, nothing
- more than a slap at poor women. It will have no effect on people
- who have the financial means to circumvent the restrictions of an
- awful piece of legislation.
