A 33-year-old Texas woman drove alone for four hours to get to the Louisiana abortion clinic for a consultation. She is currently single with three children, whose ages range from 5 to 13.

She was worried that adding a baby now would take time, food, money and space away from her other three children. She doesn’t have a job, and without help from groups offering a safe abortion, she said, she probably would have sought another way to end her pregnancy.
