Two weeks ago, I wrote that legal abortion is a myth for many women in the United States. In 2005, 87 percent of all U.S. counties lacked an abortion provider; 35 percent of American women live in those areas.

Safe abortion is a class issue. The right to choose is meaningless if you can not get an abortion when and where you need one. In 2005, 87 percent of all U.S. counties lacked an abortion provider; 35 percent of American women live in those areas. Almost 25 percent of women requiring an abortion travel over 50 miles to obtain the procedure.
