Girl, 13, gives birth after she was raped and denied abortion in Mississippi

The nearest abortion clinic – in Chicago – was too far away and too expensive for her mother to provide her with the procedure

This is just completely disgusting. When everyone failed her the law wasn't even on her side. Say what you want about abortions in general, but the audacity that people have to make getting abortions under rape or complications political is just disgusting. My heart truly goes out to this little girl, and her family, but especially the little girl. I can't imagine the amount of life altering trauma she has gone through, and how this is going to affect her for the rest of her life. This shouldn't happen to anyone. What the fuck is wrong with people.
