Washington teens create app to help those seeking abortions find a place to stay

BELLEVUE, Wash. - They’re too young to drive and not even close to voting age, but a group of middle schoolers and high school freshmen have an award-winning app concept that’s both a hot-button political issue and a road trip planner.

The first-of-its-kind tech helps users locate the closest legal abortion providers and a place to stay if they’re coming from a state where the procedure has been banned.

The group called The STEM Girls!!! is made up of two 14-year-old girls, Isabel Xu and Hasini Juluri, and two twelve-year-old girls, Cynthia Xu and Aditi Juluri.

"We know we're fortunate to live in a state where abortion is legal, but a lot of other teenagers and women don't have that available or have that right," Isabel said. "We wanted to make a difference nationwide."

The four girls created a functional mobile app that tackles a serious topic.
