Never fear, though, all around the country, women are talking about reviving the Jane Collective should SCOTUS upheld any of the crazy state laws that are being enacted. Or worse, overturn Roe v Wade.
It’s liberals who typically argue bc is not 100% effective and there will always be people who think pregnancy won’t happen to them and pass on bc regardless of the cost. I’m not sure lawmen in Mississippi or Alabama would be as tolerant as Chicago lawmen were in the Jane Collective era.

Women in Ireland would often get the ferry or plane to Liverpool to have an abortion and it became known as the Liverpool-Ireland abortion corridor.

Womens groups in Liverpool have historically offered accommodation and other support to women travelling from Ireland seeking abortions and Liverpool Women’s Hospital is the only health provider directly referenced in political debates on Irish women’s right to abortion. Over 5,000 Irish women travel to Liverpool to have abortions every year.

Imagination is idealistic not pragmatic !!! Its the art of BS, dwelling in the house of deception.

Eventually they will want the tax payer on the hook for it. Just as they do with abortions !!!

Who can sew what up? Are you suggesting women should sew their vaginal openings shut as a means of preventing pregnancy?

My thoughts, exactly. Pay for it yourself, and live with the moral and ethical consequences of killing another. People kill other people. Happens every day. Nothing will ever stop that.

Would that be more horrific than killing babies ? Is that where you are going ?

Having had an abortion, yes, I do think that having my vagina sewn shut would be a million times More horrific.

Only the ones that would expect others to pay for their birth control...

That's what I figured. Basically the equivalent of "Delta's Ready When You Are."

It's an awfully insensitive opinion to hold.
