After Learning This Woman Is Going To Get An Abortion, Uber Driver Stopped The Car And Left Her In The Middle Of The Road
January 22nd marked the 46th anniversary of the Supreme Court decision Roe. v. Wade, the ruling that legalized abortion across the United States, but as we come closer to a half-century of this court decision across the nation states are passing legislation to reverse the right. Ohio passed a “heartbeat” bill in April which bans abortion as early as six weeks into a pregnancy, becoming the third state to do so after Kentucky and Mississippi.
Abortion has become a controversial, partisan issue and while not all states will change their legislation that hasn’t stopped people from doing things on an individual level to show their position. A reddit user recently experienced just how far some people are willing to go to express their stance on the issue when she was abandoned on the side of the road by an Uber driver.
A Reddit user shared her traumatic ride to an abortion clinic where her driver left her stranded on the road

User molesterstall0ne a 20-year-old college student from upstate New York posted that she had found out she was pregnant but decided that she “was not in the position to take care of a child.” The only clinic that had open availability before next week was far from campus so she called an uber and set out on what would become a very traumatic trip.
For the destination, she had written the doctors name and his clinic, but for some reason the driver had suspicions. He asked if she was going to Planned Parenthood (which she was not) but he was not satisfied and pressed on.
He proceeded to tell her his own experience with his wife and how she would “regret the decision for the rest of your life.” She was stunned but kept her composure as the ride went on.
Suddenly the driver pulled over and said “I’m sorry but I can’t take you the rest of the way.” The student panicked as they were in the middle of nowhere farmland with no other Ubers for miles.
Eventually, she got ahold of her boyfriend who contacted the clinic to explain and picked her up.
After the incident, the Reddit user reached out to the company, who banned the driver, as well as a layer and legal aid societies. She asked other users if she had a case and what she should do next.
People in the comments were supportive and horrified the driver left her in that situation

"I know it's none of my business... but let me force my unsolicited, bigoted beliefs and ideas of morality on you anyway by not doing the job you paid me for". I'm just glad that he hung around to see that she found a lift.
No. He wanted to get her back in the car so he could scream at her. Gestation slavers are disgusting, cruel people.
Bill Hadley She was handling the consequences until douchebag decided that it was any of his business
Billyboy - women get raped because men CHOOSE TO RAPE THEM. You really need to stop with the incel shite. You’re boring, and you’re making youself look stupid.
Ooooh gestation slavers! I'm gonna steal that if you don't mind!
Well, Billyboy.... every time YOU CHOOSE to have sex, YOU CHOOSE to risk a pregnancy. You can CHOOSE to keep it in your pants, you can CHOOSE to wrap it up, or you can CHOOSE to snip it. ...///... So dipshit, let’s review. No woman gets pregnant when she’s along in the room. ...///... As soon as you can pass a soccer ball out your micropeen, you can talk about abortion. Until then STFU.
@ Nikki - it’s all yours. Spread it around. Make it viral if you can. That’s who these people are.
How do you even make that assumption...

How about she not have sex if she can't handle the consequences?
She said the cab came after the Uber left. I don't think he waited because he was concerned for her safety; he wanted to drive her back to the city and change her mind about the abortion. He also took her on an "indirect" route, that seems really wrong. Why would he do that? He took her to the middle of nowhere and then said he could take her back to the city, or leave her out there. That's a threat.
Don't worry about it being none of your business. It was a public posting that asked for your input. Therefore, it most certainly IS your business.

many people wouldn't want to aid in the destruction of a child, he
WHAT? You mean "pro-life" folks don't respect a woman's right to privacy or her autonomy to make her own decisions? And they don't know how to mind their own business? And they feel morally justified in being absolute douchebags? Say it ain't so.
No, Blake. It just makes you a pervy little crotch crawler. Well....you’d know all about that, what with supporting a church full of kiddie rapists.
When Blake says he is "pro-life" does that mean he supports state funded MAT, Naltrexone and safe injection sites to help keep addicts from OD'Ing; he supports open borders so refugees from places such as Syria do not drown in the Mediterian because they are turned away from port after port; he supports government mandated veganism; he supports extensive regulation of industry to ensure worker, consumer and 3rd party (eg those killed by environmental pollutants) safety; and even though already banned in his court, he strongly advocates for the abolition of capital punishment in other countries, and significant restrictions on firearm ownership among civilians, etc.? Or does Blake just limit "pro-life" to mean that a non-sentient mass of parasitic cells is actually more important than a living, breathing human female? Sounds more like Blake is more "pro-misogyny" than "pro-life" to me.
Aunt Messy, you're my new favourite person lol
( I was not laughing at any ones religion...No disrespect meant...I was laughing at the " church full of kiddie rapist " comment, because I know of another "church/religion" where the " men at the top" are denying they knew they had kiddie rapist in their rank and file.......I kinda veered off subject there, just wanted to clarify I was not knocking anyone's religion.....just the bad apples that should not be there)
GAWD you are nasty woman! Go take care of your cat!

Congratulations, you win today's "Anti-Catholic Bigot" award. You're the one accusing my religion of being paedos; you have no right to claim the moral high ground. By the way, I do support anti-overdose sites, my church prohibits capital punishment, and government mandated veganism would be bad for those in poverty who cannot afford expensive vegetables. Besides, surely murdering women purely because of their sex is misogynist - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex-selective_abortion

It’s not about “saving” anything. Just look at the MRA incels ranting here. They hate and fear women beyond all reason. They’re a bunch of whining crybabies who want to hurt us.
Blakey, I was raised in the Church. I’ve been an atheist since I was six years old. When I was 11, I showed our parish priest the bruises on me where my father had smashed my ribs with his work boot. That “man of god” told me I should (and I will never forget that) “strive to be more obedient”. Then he called my father to tell him about my “lies” before I’d left the building. ...///... I pissed blood for a week after that. ..///... So get stuffed, Blakey. You have no idea what you’re talking about.
@Aunt Messy, you are using the same bigoted arguments against the Church as the racists here in Britain do against Islam - taking the few paedos, extremists and horrible people in the religion (whatever one it is) and using it as a stick to hit all that religion with. I do not doubt that you were abused by your father, nor that your parish priest covered it up (there are, as we have seen, some sick people in the Church who will surely rot in Hell), nor do I complain about your atheism - that is your choice, as much as it is my friends' choice to wear a headscarf or follow the Archbishop of Canterbury instead of the Pope. Your "supporting a church full of kiddie rapists" remarks are out of order and come from the same place as the Islamophobia of the EDL and the For Britain party.
.....did I mention "saving" anyone? Are you responding to someone who deleted? I'm confused. I mean, you're not wrong, but I'm confused as to what you're responding to.

Hi, @Aunt Messy. I'm a British Roman Catholic and pro-lifer, and, in my religion, people often have large numbers of children. Please explain to me how that makes me an incel?
No but they do respect that growing life inside that irresponsible girl who's callous BF didn't bother to drive her or be with her because THAT is who she is really upset with! No, let's sue a man with a pregnant wife who couldn't bear to drive a young woman to get the life ripped out of her! Wake the f##k up!

She abandoned her privacy when she told the uber driver that she was going to the appointment. Also we "pro-life folks" aren't all horrible people yelling and condemning you for your choice.
I don't really understand this. In Germany abortions are done in regular hospitals. Do you have special hospitals only for abortions in America??
This is because the USA is very religious to the point they can rival Iran
As an Iranian American, I totally agree. FYI, birth control is free to all women in Iran and they are big on family planning, but abortion is largely illegal unless the fetus or mom are in medical danger. Doctors and women can go to jail over illegal abortions. Also FYI: nothing in Christianity bans abortion. In fact Yahweh performs at least one abortion in the Bible. So it’s not religious really.
This comment has been deleted.
Um... mewton’s Third Paw... that is a totally inappropriate comment for anyone who is a Christian or a Jew who accepts the name YHWH for God. There was a specific command under the Mosaic law which stated if a pregnant woman was harmed and the baby died as a result the person responsible was treated as someone who had committed a murder (Exodus 21:22‑23) and says “life for life” - clearly under Hebrew law an unborn child was considered the same as born child or adult. Secondly, read psalm 139:16 where the writer says about God seeing the embryo (unborn child) as a person. So if you want to bash a religion, fine, it’s your opinion and your right to state your own opinion. But please get your facts right first and do not be ignorant.

Um EA, Numbers 5:11-31. Yeah, G_d performs abortions. And if every conception is so sacred, why do 10-15% of pregnancies end in miscarriage? I mean, really makes G_d look like the biggest abortion doctor out there. Kind of douchey of Him.

Just like Trump is Hitler. Hyperbole always makes for a weak argument.
Because many of us (Americans) don't seem to really get the whole separation of church and state thing. It's infuriating.
@Bored Moogle I really dont think you understand that it is not murder. If the parents aren't ready, its good for the kid and them. What? So your going to throw the kid into childcare where they are scarred for life, abused, and neglected? The brain hasn't even finished growing! They are not developed!
Same in Sweden. Regular hospitals and universal health care.
Yes, they do. And they are closing them at a seemingly alarming rate... Search for: John Oliver - Abortion Laws and John Oliver - Crisis Abortion Centers. It's absolutely horrifying.

There are many reasons for abortion clinics. Many hospitals aren’t willing to perform elective abortions, and doctors are able to refuse to perform the procedure. Women know that they won’t be judged by doctors at an abortion clinic. Many abortion clinics also provide more affordable services and have specific services like counseling.
Not that simple in DE and AT either. Some clinics won't do planned c-sections because the entire hospital "believes" that natural birth is best for women and basically deny you their services.
Whilst US hospitals are capable of performing them, they will only do so in an emergency situation. If a mother is choosing an abortion, the hospital will tell them to go to a clinic

Hospitals and private clinics both do abortions. The woman in this case was just going to see the doctor and get the abortion pills to take at home.
