You do realize that your experience does not dictate anyone else's, right?
YOU have several planned parenthoods within driving distance, lucky you. Not all women are that lucky. In my case, the nearest abortion provider is hundreds of miles away. I also know a great many people who have no personal transportation whatsoever and would be in a serious bind if they had to get an abortion. I also know women who had the experience of feeling forced to seek an abortion outside of their community because they would otherwise be ostracized mercilessly.

I am glad that women in your area are fortunate to have abortion facilities nearby. But this is hardly the case for all women, everywhere.
