Besides when flights to other places go for very cheap amounts and there are things like "go fund me" / NOW / other pro abortion groups ... it is laughable to say that any women who wants an abortion can't get one.
That is the case *now*. Missouri recently seriously considered a law which would grant standing to private citizens to file a lawsuit against a Missouri resident who helped a woman travel to another state for an abortion.
Yesterday's Supreme Court decision overturning Roe said nothing about it being a state issue - all it said was that abortion was no longer a constitutional right.
Ring ring....clue phone......Abortion was NEVER a constitutional right. EVER.
As Planned Parenthood has promised, every candidate for office is going to be eating this ruling for breakfast.
Hope they don't choke.
This ruling does not actually change anything. States can now ban abortions. And the ones that will do so have popular support for that from their voters. There might be instances where candidates are in close races in swing or blue states where this might matter. But overall no. Its not the most important issue. The ones where this is the #1 issue are on the far left and far right and this ruling changes nothing for them.
Some of the states had laws that were on the books since before 1973, that just weren't removed from the books that now kick in with Roe V Wade dissolution.
We're about to see a wave of activism we hadn't seen since the 60's, when we all thought these rights were hard fought for, and won.
And then this.
And with people fighting for their health care rights, and same sex marriage rights, while they're at it, your gun rights are on the table. For good measure. Just so you remember this.
Why do you say that and have such a blanket view of 50 states ?
No it does not have to take years.
Anyone can travel to NYC and get an abortion any time up to going into labor.
I don’t know, the term pregnant women is obsolete and we must use “birthing people”.
The insensitivity of these Neanderthals clamoring for a “woman’s” right to choose is staggering.
