Enabling choice is NOT a crime! Drop all charges against Jennifer Whalen!

Pennsylvania mother Jennifer Whalen is being charged with multiple crimes after allegedly purchasing Mifepristone off the internet and giving it to her then 16-year-old pregnant daughter, who wanted an abortion. Whalen said she purchased the drugs after being unable to find a clinic close enough to have a legal abortion and not wanting to take her daughter out of state to obtain one (based on her location, the likely nearest clinic would have been in New York state). As if these barbaric laws restricting access to reproductive choice are not insult enough, now women are being prosecuted for seeking out other avenues to obtain abortions!

Jennifer Whalen helped her daughter the only way she knew how after Pennsylvania restricted women's access to safe, legal abortion. This is a slap in the face to women everywhere. Helping Ms. Whalen's daughter obtain an abortion should not be considered a crime, and all charges should be immediately dropped.
