SHE WASN'T ABLE TO GET AN ABORTION. NOW SHE'S A MOM. SOON SHE'LL START 7TH
GRADE. 

Ashley in Clarksdale, Miss., Aug. 1, 2023.
Lucy Garrett for TIME
By Charlotte Alter/Clarksdale, Miss.
August 14, 2023 6:00 AM EDT

Ashley just had a baby. She’s sitting on the couch in a relative’s apartment in
Clarksdale, Miss., wearing camo-print leggings and fiddling with the plastic
hospital bracelets still on her wrists. It’s August and pushing 90 degrees,
which means the brown patterned curtains are drawn, the air conditioner is on
high, and the room feels like a hiding place. Peanut, the baby boy she delivered
two days earlier, is asleep in a car seat at her feet, dressed in a little blue
outfit. Ashley is surrounded by family, but nobody is smiling. One relative
silently eats lunch in the kitchen, her two siblings stare glumly at their
phones, and her mother, Regina, watches from across the room. Ashley was
discharged from the hospital only hours ago, but there are no baby presents or
toys in the room, no visible diapers or ointments or bottles. Almost nobody
knows that Peanut exists, because almost nobody knew that Ashley was pregnant.
She is 13 years old. Soon she’ll start seventh grade.



In the fall of 2022, Ashley was raped by a stranger in the yard outside her
home, her mother says. For weeks, she didn’t tell anybody what happened, not
even her mom. But Regina knew something was wrong. Ashley used to love going
outside to make dances for her TikTok, but suddenly she refused to leave her
bedroom. When she turned 13 that November, she wasn't in the mood to celebrate.
“She just said, ‘It hurts,’” Regina remembers. “She was crying in her room. I
asked her what was wrong, and she said she didn’t want to tell me.” (To protect
the privacy of a juvenile rape survivor, TIME is using pseudonyms to refer to
Ashley and Regina; Peanut is the baby’s nickname.)

The signs were obvious only in retrospect. Ashley started feeling sick to her
stomach; Regina thought it was related to her diet. At one point, Regina even
asked Ashley if she was pregnant, and Ashley said nothing. Regina hadn’t yet
explained to her daughter how a baby is made, because she didn’t think Ashley
was old enough to understand. “They need to be kids,” Regina says. She doesn’t
think Ashley even realized that what happened to her could lead to a pregnancy.



On Jan. 11, Ashley began throwing up so much that Regina took her to the
emergency room at Northwest Regional Medical Center in Clarksdale. When her
bloodwork came back, the hospital called the police. One nurse came in and asked
Ashley, “What have you been doing?” Regina recalls. That’s when they found out
Ashley was pregnant. “I broke down,” Regina says.

Dr. Erica Balthrop at the Clarksdale Woman's Clinic on Aug. 2.
Lucy Garrett for TIME

Dr. Erica Balthrop was the ob-gyn on call that day. Balthrop is an assured,
muscular woman with close-cropped cornrows and a tattoo of a feather running
down her arm. She ordered an ultrasound, and determined Ashley was 10 or 11
weeks along. “It was surreal for her,” Balthrop recalls. "She just had no clue.”
The doctor could not get Ashley to answer any questions, or to speak at all.
“She would not open her mouth.” (Balthrop spoke about her patient's medical
history with Regina's permission.)



At their second visit, about a week later, Regina tentatively asked Balthrop if
there was any way to terminate Ashley’s pregnancy. Seven months earlier,
Balthrop could have directed Ashley to abortion clinics in Memphis, 90 minutes
north, or in Jackson, Miss., two and a half hours south. But today, Ashley lives
in the heart of abortion-ban America. In 2018, Republican lawmakers in
Mississippi enacted a ban on most abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy. The law
was blocked by a federal judge, who ruled that it violated the abortion
protections guaranteed by Roe v. Wade. The Supreme Court felt differently. In
their June 2022 decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the
Supreme Court overturned the constitutional right to abortion that had existed
for nearly half a century. Within weeks, Mississippi and every state that
borders it banned abortion in almost all circumstances.

Balthrop told Regina that the closest abortion provider for Ashley would be in
Chicago. At first, Regina thought she and Ashley could drive there. But it’s a
nine-hour trip, and Regina would have to take off work. She’d have to pay for
gas, food, and a place to stay for a couple of nights, not to mention the cost
of the abortion itself. “I don’t have the funds for all this,” she says.



So Ashley did what girls with no other options do: she did nothing.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Clarksdale, Miss.
Lucy Garrett for TIME

Clarksdale is in the Mississippi Delta, a vast stretch of flat, fertile land in
the northwest corner of the state, between the Mississippi and Yazoo rivers. The
people who live in the Delta are overwhelmingly Black. The poverty rate is high.
The region is an epicenter of America’s ongoing Black maternal-health crisis.
Mississippi has the second-highest maternal-mortality rate in the country, with
43 deaths per 100,00 live births, and the Delta has among the worst
maternal-healthcare outcomes in the state. Black women in Mississippi are four
times as likely to die from pregnancy-related complications as white women.



Mississippi’s abortion ban is expected to result in thousands of additional
births, often to low-income, high-risk mothers. Dr. Daniel Edney, Mississippi’s
top health official, tells TIME his department is “actively preparing” for
roughly 4,000 additional live births this year alone. Edney says improving
maternal-health outcomes is the “No. 1 priority” for the Mississippi health
department, which has invested $2 million into its Healthy Moms, Healthy Babies
program to provide extra support for new mothers. “There is a sense of following
through, and not just as a predominantly pro-life state,” says Edney. “We don’t
just care about life in utero. We care about life, period, and that includes the
mother’s life and the baby’s life.”

Lon Tweeten for TIME

Mississippi’s abortion ban contains narrow exceptions, including for rape
victims and to save the life of the mother. As Ashley's case shows, these
exceptions are largely theoretical. Even if a victim files a police report,
there appears to be no clear process for granting an exception. (The state
Attorney General’s office did not return TIME’s repeated requests to clarify the
process for granting exceptions; the Mississippi Board of Medical Licensure and
the Mississippi State Medical Association did not reply to TIME’s requests for
explanation.) And, of course, there are no abortion providers left in the state.
In January, the New York Times reported that since Mississippi's abortion law
went into effect, only two exceptions had been made. Even if the process for
obtaining one were clear, it wouldn’t have helped Ashley. Regina didn’t know
that Mississippi’s abortion ban had an exception for rape.



Even before Dobbs, it was perilous to become a mother in rural Mississippi. More
than half the counties in the state can be classified as maternity-care deserts,
according to a 2023 report from the March of Dimes, meaning there are no
birthing facilities or obstetric providers. More than 24% of women in
Mississippi have no birthing hospital within a 30-minute drive, compared to the
national average of roughly 10%. According to Edney, there are just nine ob-gyns
serving a region larger than the state of Delaware. Every time another ob-gyn
retires, Balthrop gets an influx of new patients. “These patients are having to
drive further to get the same care, then they're having to wait longer,”
Balthrop says.

Those backups can have cascading effects. Balthrop recalls one woman who had to
wait four weeks to get an appointment. "That’s unacceptable, because you don't
know if she’s high risk or not until she sees you," the doctor says says. Her
patient "didn’t know she was pregnant. Now the time has lapsed so much that she
can’t drive anyplace to terminate even if she chose to."

Early data suggests the Dobbs decision will make this problem worse. Younger
doctors and medical students say they don't want to move to states with abortion
restrictions. When Emory University researcher Ariana Traub surveyed almost 500
third- and fourth-year medical students in 2022, close to 80% said that abortion
laws influenced where they planned to apply to residency. Nearly 60% said they
were unlikely to apply to any residency programs in states with abortion
restrictions. Traub had assumed that abortion would be most important to
students studying obstetrics, but was surprised to find that three-quarters of
students across all medical specialties said that Dobbs was affecting their
residency decisions.



“People often forget that doctors are people and patients too,” Traub says. “And
residency is often the time when people are in their mid-30s and thinking of
starting a family.” Traub found that medical students weren’t just reluctant to
practice in states with abortion bans. They didn’t want to become pregnant
there, either.

And so Dobbs has compounded America's maternal-health crisis: more women are
delivering more babies, in areas where there are already not enough doctors to
care for them, while abortion bans are making it more difficult to recruit
qualified providers to the regions that need them most. “People always ask me:
‘Why do you choose to stay there?’” says Balthrop, who has worked in the Delta
for more than 20 years. “I feel like I have no choice at this point."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ashley, pictured two days after Peanut was born.

The weeks went on, and Ashley entered her second trimester. She wore bigger
clothes to hide her bump, until she was so big that Regina took her out of
school. They told everyone Ashley needed surgery for a bad ulcer. “We’ve been
keeping it quiet, because people judge wrong when they don’t know what’s going
on,” Regina says. She’s been trying to keep Ashley away from “nosy people.” For
months, Ashley spent most of the day alone, finishing up sixth grade on her
laptop. The family still has no plans to tell anybody about the pregnancy. “It’s
going to be a little private matter here,” Regina says.



Ashley has ADHD and trouble focusing, and has an Individualized Education
Program at school. She had never talked much, but after the rape she went from
shy to almost mute. Regina thinks she may have been too traumatized to speak. At
first, Regina couldn’t even get Ashley to tell her about the rape at all.

In an interview in a side bedroom, while Ashley watched TV with Peanut in
another room, Regina recounted the details of her daughter’s sexual assault, as
she understands them. It was a weekend in the fall, shortly after lunchtime, and
Ashley, then 12, had been outside their home making TikToks while her uncle and
sibling were inside. A man came down the street and into the front yard, grabbed
Ashley, and covered her mouth, Regina says. He pulled her around to the side of
the house and raped her. Ashley told Regina that her assailant was an adult, and
that she didn’t know him. Nobody else witnessed the assault.

Shortly after finding out Ashley was pregnant, Regina filed a complaint with the
Clarksdale Police Department. The department's assistant chief of police,
Vincent Ramirez, confirmed to TIME that a police report had been filed in the
matter, but refused to share the document because it involved a minor.

Experts say the Clarksdale Police Department's decision to wait until after
Ashley delivered to collect DNA evidence is not unusual.
Lucy Garrett for TIME

Regina says that another family member believed they had identified the rapist
through social-media sleuthing. The family says they flagged the man they
suspected to the police, but the investigation seemed to go nowhere. Ramirez
declined to comment on an ongoing investigation, but an investigator in the
department confirmed to TIME that an arrest has not yet been made. With their
investigation still incomplete, police have not yet publicly confirmed that they
believe Ashley’s pregnancy resulted from sexual assault.



Regina felt the police weren’t taking the case seriously. She says she was told
that in order to move the investigation forward, the police needed DNA from the
baby after its birth. Experts say this is not unusual. Although it is
technically possible to obtain DNA from a fetus, police are often reluctant to
initiate an invasive procedure on a pregnant victim, says Phillip Danielson, a
professor of forensic genetics at the University of Denver. They typically test
DNA only on fetal remains after an abortion, or after a baby is born, he says.

But almost three days after Peanut was born, the police still hadn’t picked up
the DNA sample; it was only after inquiries from TIME that officers finally
arrived to collect it. Asked at the Clarksdale police station why it had taken
so long after Peanut's birth for crucial evidence to be collected, Ramirez
shrugged. “It’s a pretty high priority, as a juvenile,” he says. “Sometimes they
slip a little bit because we’ve got a lot going on, but then they come back to
it.”

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Woman's Clinic in Clarksdale, Miss., is a lifeline in a vast region with few
other maternity health options.
Lucy Garrett for TIME

Ashley doesn’t say much when asked how it felt to learn she was pregnant. Her
mouth twists into a shy grimace, and she looks away. “Not good,” she says after
a long pause. “Not happy.”



Regina’s own feelings about abortion became more complicated as the pregnancy
progressed. She got pregnant with her first daughter at 17, and was a mother at
18. “I was a teen,” says Regina, now 33. “But I wasn’t as young as her.”

Regina had considered abortion during one of her own pregnancies. But her
grandmother admonished her, “Your mama didn’t abort you.” Now Regina felt caught
between her family’s general disapproval of abortion and the realization that
her 13-year-old daughter was pregnant as the result of a rape. “I wish she had
just told me when it happened. We could have gotten Plan B or something,” Regina
says, referring to the emergency contraceptive often known as the “morning-after
pill.” “That would have been that.”

Balthrop often sees this kind of ambivalence. Clarksdale is in the heart of the
Bible Belt, and many of her patients are Black women from religious families.
Even if they want to terminate their pregnancies, Balthrop says, many of them
ultimately decide not to go through with it. Since the Dobbs decision, however,
Balthrop has seen an increase in “incomplete abortions,” which is when the
pregnancy has been terminated but the uterus hasn’t been fully emptied.
Medication abortions— abortions managed with pills, which are increasingly
available online—are overwhelmingly safe, but occasionally can have minor
complications when the pills are not taken exactly as directed. “They're having
complications after—not serious, but they'll come in with significant bleeding,
and then we still have to finish the process,” Balthrop says, explaining that
they sometimes have to evacuate dead fetal tissue.



According to Balthrop, Ashley didn’t have complications during her pregnancy.
But she didn’t start speaking more until she felt the baby move, around her
sixth month. “That’s when it hit home,” Balthrop says. “She’d complain about
little aches and pains that she had never had before. That’s when her mom would
come in and say, ‘She asked me this question,’ and the three of us would sit and
talk about it.”

How did Ashley feel in anticipation of becoming a mother? “Nervous,” is all she
will say. Toward the end of the pregnancy, she was terrified of going into
labor, Balthrop recalls. Most of her questions were about pushing, and delivery,
and how painful it would be. She was focused on “the delivery process itself,”
Balthrop says. “Not, ‘What am I going to do when I take this baby home?’”

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Clarksdale Woman’s Clinic, where Balthrop practices, is across the street
from the emergency room at Northwest Regional Medical Center, where Ashley first
learned she was pregnant. The clinic is large and welcoming, with comfortable
chairs and paintings of flowers on the walls. The staff is kind and efficient,
the space is clean, and it helps that the three ob-gyns on staff are Black,
since most of the patients are Black women. The clinic’s strong reputation
attracts patients from an hour away in all directions. It is a lifeline in a
vast region with few other maternity health options.



Even for healthy patients, it can be dangerous to be pregnant in such a rural
area. “We have patients who walk to our clinic. They don't have transportation,”
says Casey Shoun, an administrative assistant at Clarksdale Woman’s. Some can
get Medicaid transportation, but it’s notoriously unreliable. The trip can be
hard even for local residents: the roads leading to the clinic don’t have good
sidewalks, and temperatures in the Delta regularly reach 100 degrees in the
summer.

Shoun says the clinic gets patients who are six months pregnant by the time they
have their first prenatal appointment. “We've had patients who go to the
hospital, and they've already delivered,” Shoun says. Balthrop recalls one woman
who went into labor about seven weeks early, and had to drive 45 minutes to get
to the hospital. She was too late. “By the time she got here, the baby had
passed already,” Balthrop says.



Clarksdale Woman's is equipped to handle routine appointments for a healthy
pregnancy like Ashley’s. But a pregnant woman with any complication at all—from
deep-vein thrombosis to diabetes, preeclampsia to advanced maternal age—will
have to make a three-hour round trip drive to Memphis to see the closest
maternal-fetal-medicine specialist. The most vulnerable patients are often the
ones who have to travel the farthest for pregnancy care.

One morning in August, as the clinic filled, Balthrop allowed TIME to interview
consenting patients in the waiting room and parking lot. One of them was
Mikashia Hardiman, who is 18 years old and pregnant with her first child.
Hardiman had just had her 20-week anatomy scan, and learned that she has a
shortened cervix, which means her mother now has to drive her to Memphis to see
a specialist.

Jessica Ray, 36, was 13 weeks pregnant with her third child. Three years ago,
when she suddenly went into labor with her second child at 33 weeks, she drove
herself 45 minutes to the hospital and delivered less than half an hour after
she arrived. Ray knows the travel ordeals ahead of her: because she had
preeclampsia with her first two pregnancies, she’ll have to go see the
specialist in Memphis each month. “You have to take off work and make sure
somebody's getting your kids,” Ray says.



Balthrop, who has three kids of her own, has long considered moving to a
different region with a better education system. "I feel like I can’t," she
says. "I would be letting so many people down."

But the clinic is under serious financial strain. Between overhead, malpractice
insurance, the increasing costs of goods and services, and decreasing insurance
reimbursements, Balthrop and her colleagues can barely afford to keep Clarksdale
Woman's open. They’re considering selling the practice to a hospital 30 miles
away. If that happened, Balthrop says, babies would no longer be delivered in
Clarksdale, a city of less than 15,000. Some of her patients would have to leave
the Delta—possibly driving an hour or more—to get even the most basic maternity
care.

For the patients who already struggle to make it to Clarksdale, that would spell
disaster. "They just wouldn't get care until they show up for delivery at the
hospital,” says Shoun, the administrative assistant. “Imagine if we weren't
here. Where would they go?"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Clarksdale is in the heart of the Bible Belt.
Lucy Garrett for TIME

Ashley started feeling contractions on a Saturday afternoon when she was 39
weeks pregnant. She called Regina, who came home from work, and together they
started timing them. They arrived at the hospital around 8 p.m. that night. An
exam revealed Ashley was already six centimeters dilated. Her water broke soon
after, and she got an epidural. She delivered Peanut within five hours. Ashley
describes the birth in one word: “Painful.”



For Regina, the arrival of her first grandchild has not eased the pain of
watching what her daughter has endured. “This situation hurts the most because
it was an innocent child doing what children do, playing outside, and it was my
child,” Regina says. “It still hurts, and is going to always hurt.”

Ashley doesn’t know anybody else who has a baby. She doesn’t want her three
friends at school to find out that she has one now. Regina is working on an
arrangement with the school so Ashley can start seventh grade from home until
she’s ready to go back in person. Relatives will watch Peanut while Regina is at
work. Is there anything about motherhood that Ashley is excited about? She
twists her mouth, shrugs, and says nothing. Is there anything Ashley wants to
say to other girls? “Be careful when you go outside,” she says. “And stay safe.”

There is only one moment when Ashley smiles a little, and it’s when she
describes the nurses she met in the doctors’ office and delivery room. One of
them, she remembers, was “nice” and “cool.” She has decided that when she grows
up, she wants to be a nurse too. “To help people,” she says. For a second, she
looks like any other soon-to-be seventh grader sharing her childhood dream. Then
Peanut stirs in his car seat. Regina says he needs to be fed. Ashley’s face goes
blank again. She is a mother now.
