The nearest abortion clinic – in Chicago – was too far away and too expensive for her mother to provide her with the procedure

I will fight my ass off to place my children into a conservatorship or even frame them for a crime if they ever consider moving to a place like Mississippi

I assume the girl asked help from the republicans around here, but they couldn't hear her ask over the sound of themselves screaming about how much they want to "protect children".

I was reading a description of this popular novel the other day. It was set in America and was supposedly fiction...

The novel explores themes of subjugated women in a patriarchal society, loss of female agency and individuality, suppression of women's reproductive rights, and the various means by which women resist and try to gain individuality and independence.

I see clinics in Carbondale, about 5 hours South of Chicago. I wonder why that wasn't an option?

"was looking to get an abortion for her daughter but was told the closest abortion provider was in Chicago – a drive of more than nine hours from their home in Clarksdale, Mississippi."

They could have been lied to, these people are disgusting. When taken to be seen for her strange behavior before they knew she was pregnant, in response to getting back the positive pregnancy test the nurse asked the girl "What have you been doing?". There are plenty of people in healthcare that don't care about these victims either or see them as victims at all.

Those clinics you see might not give abortions anymore too.

Given the geography of the situation, it would be useful to ensure that (1) the southern IL clinics remain open and (2) this information is widely known in the the southern states.

The Guardian seems to be spreading misinformation by claiming that Chicago is the closest location without further research.

Edit: here's a map to clarify:

  1. You say it's widely known with no evidence. Widely known to some does not mean it is known to everyone.

  2. The guardian is reporting what they the family were told by the nurse. If you read the original Time article they say that precisely, the nurse told them that's where the nearest place was. Whether the nurse was correct or not is not what they claimed.

You say it’s widely known with no evidence

I said it would be useful to make the information widely known. Journalists should call up the clinics in southern Illinois, ask if they're open, and share this information in future articles. I assume they'll get plenty of opportunities.

Probably no driver's license or car, no money, no help, etc.
