If you can’t afford the travel, then you shouldn’t have had sex in the first place. Unless you were the mistress of an Old White Wealthy Rethugican. Then it’s fine. It’s all about who owns you, see?
And BEWARE using electronics to keep track of your periods. Oh, and do NOT search for “abortion providers still in business” or any other such thing unless you’re using a (foreign) VPN… and clearing your cache. Yes, there have already been abuses like that.
If you don’t know what a VPN is, then you shouldn’t be having sex…
It is hard to believe that this is necessary. When I was about 11, before Roe v Wade, I remember that two of my classmates (Catholic school) had older sisters that died from “appendix complications”. Even at 11, I heard the whispers about that being code words for botched abortions.
Wealthy women always had the ability to get abortions – they could afford to travel or they could find a doctor willing to do a “D&C”.
Pre-1973 the rich could always fly away to another country. The poor and the young had to pay the price of making a mistake… an accident. I knew a young h.s. student who died from a botched backstreet termination. Ruined her kidneys. The “father” suffered pats on the back from fellow males and being called a “stud”.
I live in California and the state plans to pass a (state) constitutional amendment protecting the right to an abortion, and to help (at least providing a website for) those outside CA seeking one. This travel thing Clay drew is going to be real in many different forms.

If the GQP gets their way, it will require a trip out of the country.

My governor put up billboards in the most restrictive states telling women their bodies are theirs. Come to CA.

Rather than screening for guns or COVID, the Far-Right will have the airlines screening for pregnancies.

We all see this coming, yet it’s still unsettling…
