Teen Vogue Is Teaching Your Kids How to Skirt the Law to Get Abortions
• https://thenewamerican.com, by Luis MiguelIn a recently published piece by Lauren Rankin, Teen Vogue teaches its readers "How to Get an Abortion if You're a Teen After Roe v. Wade Was Overturned."
Rankin, a self-described "activist" in favor of abortion, authored a book defending the practice titled Bodies on the Line: At the Front Lines of the Fight to Protect Abortion in America. The Teen Vogue op-ed in question was originally written and published by the outlet in 2019, but has now received an "update" and republication in reaction to the overturning of Roe v. Wade in the Dobbs case last month.
"Some states may criminalize providing abortion, but having an abortion does not inherently make you a criminal," Rankin writes. "This article can help you navigate how to get an abortion as a minor in a post-Roe world."
Under a section asking "Where Do I Go for an Abortion," Rankin notes that 13 states have trigger laws designed to outlaw abortion immediately upon the overturn of Roe v. Wade, but not all are yet in effect.
"If you live in one of the states where abortion is currently banned, you will most likely need to travel to another state for an in-clinic abortion," Rankin counsels teenage girls.
