Q. How do low-income women, who some might believe would want access to abortion, view restrictions?

A. Abortion was not on their radar. A multitude of issues face people who are living in extreme poverty that have nothing to do with abortion access.

On the other hand, there are many places across the country like Mississippi that are very rural and a lot of women do not have access to abortion and the women are very conflicted about it. They are not adamant [on either side of the issue].

They just accept the fact that abortion is not an option. One woman says abortion is $300 or $400 so there was no way she was going to be able to have that option, even if she could travel to the clinic, which is hours away and she would have to go [to the clinic] twice.

You mean people can actually accept that abortion is NOT AN OPTION?!?!? This is not what the DIMS have been telling us. You mean back alley hanger-abortions are not a result of this "mean-spirited" view? -sarc

I've argued this with my liberal friends for years. It is not the *poor* who are getting abortions. They cost too much. It is rich white girls getting abortions.
