Pregnant and poor in Mississippi

Mississippi law limits abortion to the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. But for poor women short on time and money, that can be an impossible deadline.

    too many generalizations

    Both Syoung and Amerigo could be the same person. Each deals in absolutes. Amerigo thinks anyone who had an abortion will someday regret it, while Syoung believes that any woman that regrets an abortion is an idiot. I regret an abortion I had many years ago, but I remain firmly pro-choice. I realize that my experience was my own, as every woman's choice about terminating a pregnancy should be own her. The only idiots here are the people like Syoung and Amerigo who make assumptions about people and circumstances they know absolutely nothing about.
