http://www.rhrealitycheck.org/article/2012/07/08/idaho-trial-over-unlawful-abortion-could-have-national-repercussions<br><br>-- SNIP --<br>The reality is that McCormack is the reason why Roe exists, and why the
whittling away of abortion rights is so critical at this point.
Regardless of how late it occurred, McCormack's attempt to terminate was
a combination of financial struggles, an inability to access an
affordable procedure, and a lack of providers who could provide a
termination. Restrictions since 1992's Planned Parenthood vs. Casey
decision, such as waiting periods, which drive up expenses and the time
needed to get an early abortion; TRAP laws; and attacks on providers,
have created roadblocks to early safe abortion care. As a result, early,
safe abortion care has become increasingly unattainable for women at
the economic margins, leading them to take matters into their own hands
to terminate an untenable pregnancy in any way possible. <br> </div></body>
