11 weeks. You have only 11 weeks to suspect you're pregnant, take a home test, get a blood test to confirm, and then try to get an appointment at one of two providers in the entire state. You get one little extra week, as a treat, if you want to undergo a much more invasive and painful surgical abortion.

A reminder that this is all intentional. All of it. The violent intimidation towards women's healthcare providers, the overloading of the few clinics left, the lack of support and resources available for pre-natal testing, the brutal limitations placed on women who are already in one of the most vulnerable positions they'll be subjected to in their lives.

They intentionally set up these roadblocks. If you want to get an abortion: you need to have a regular period, access to pregnancy testing, access to transportation, access to enough money to pay for everything, etc. They don't see women as anything more than "proud wives and mothers". These monsters cry with joy in front of cameras when they talk about eventually enacting full bans with no exceptions, so just imagine how reprehensible they are in private.
