Angst and apprehension for some women as US
Supreme Court revisits abortion
Jessy Rosales did not realise she was รีวิวเกมสล็อต pregnant for weeks.
When she found out, Rosales - a 20-year-old college student at the time - hid it from
her family, whose judgement she feared, and struggled to find an abortion clinic that
would accept her student health insurance.
The Los Angeles resident scrambled for more than a month in 2016 to save
the US$700 needed for the procedure and was failing her classes due to the stress.
Rosales managed to end her pregnancy at around 16 weeks.
Other women could lose that ability, depending on how the US Supreme Court rules
when it reviews the legality of a Republican-backed Mississippi law that would ban
bortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy.
The decision by the justices on Monday to take up the case worried some US women,
who for decades have had legal access to abortion thanks to the court's landmark
1973 Roe v. Wade ruling.
"Access is so complex. There's so much that goes beyond just knowing that you want
to have an abortion and actually getting to that destination," said Rosales, 25.
Abortion rights advocates fear - and abortion opponents hope - that the court,
with a 6-3 conservative majority, could use the case to permit more restrictive abortion
laws, which Republican-led state legislatures have been pursuing for years. |
