Are we supposed to believe this story about an underground abortion railroad?

Over the weekend, NBC News ran with a story that the National Abortion Federation has been pitching to journalists for weeks — that abortion advocates are raising money to help transport and house women who want the procedure, given the passage of stricter abortion laws in various states.

I feel like I have to write something, not because of my own pro-life views, and not because I don't think such arrangements might exist, but because I just don't believe this story.

For example, here's the lede:
It was a warm June afternoon when Judith Plaskow got the email reminding her of a guest arriving soon.

The woman staying at Plaskow's Washington Heights apartment was a stranger who needed to be picked up at the Port Authority bus terminal on Manhattan's West Side. She was young — just 19 — and had never been to New York City before. Plaskow guessed she'd be scared.

The woman wasn't coming to the big city for thrills or fun. There'd be no Broadway show, no visit to the Empire State building. She was making a 10-hour trip to receive safe, legal abortion care — because where she is from, it is not possible to get it.

You had to know this was inevitable

Maybe it's time for a conservative news person to do a story interviewing kids 5-15 yo and at the end of the interview reveal that all of them were saved from abortion by their state laws.
Since the other side only reacts with emotion, not logic, maybe we should start appealing to them with emotion.

So they will go to any length to murder an unborn child, but won't make any effort to practice birth control? Too complicated to take a pill or use a condom?

She should be scared - she's getting ready to murder her baby.

I see it for what it is an altar for satan. Killing GODS gifts is just wrong

Luciferianism is a belief system that venerates the essential characteristics that are affixed to Lucifer. The tradition, influenced by Gnosticism, usually reveres Lucifer not as the devil, but as a liberator, a guardian or guiding spirit, or even the true god as opposed to Jehovah.
