“If lawmakers will not step in and help these desperate women, then I will.”The dating website founder said he and his girlfriend Zoe Glaze will set up a charity called Fight Against Poverty in order to help women access safe and legal abortions out of state. He said those living below the poverty line won’t be able to access legal abortions in other parts of the country. According to government census data, about 17 per cent of Alabama’s population lives below the poverty line, with that number rising to 18.5 per cent for Alabama women, according to Spotlight on Poverty. None of the mentioned states allow an abortion unless the woman’s life is endangered and rape and incest are no exception. “When any state makes the decision to deny women the right to make choices about her body, we can help,” Wade said.
