"You can still secretly go on a trip to Sweden and have one. You can make a whole summer of it. People are overreacting. Like my maid: completely hysterical. She got tears all over my granite countertops." - Average NPR Listener
LOL granite countertops

Fucking NPR listeners
“well you can still travel between states, it’s not like we love in a military dictatorship”
Yeah, if we lived in one of those we'd have ballooning military spend at the expense of everything else, even during times of peace. And defense contractors would be getting paid money hand over fist to make and deliver products that are defective. And the police would be becoming excessively militarized themselves, such as being equipped with military equipment. And the country would be going heavily right wing.
Gee, I wonder what else the provisions of all that recent anti-trans legislation that criminalized leaving the state for getting medical treatment could also apply to.
An injury to one of us is an injury to all of us and you can never seperate liberation of trans women from liberation of cis women and vice versa, exhibit no. 9767437
well you can still travel between states, it’s not like we live in a military dictatorship
doesnt texas or oklahoma or whatever charge people with murder even if they went out of state? like do they think the gop are too stupid to consider this?
When I lived in Austin, it was eight hours to the nearest state line.
Tell that to Europeans and watch their brains explode. They'll say something like "why not take the train instead?" or some other similarly ignorant nonsense.
the longest possible single journey in the UK is only ~15 hours and most of that is because you can't keep up motorway speeds because there's towns and shit in the way lol
And after 8 hours of driving you're in... Oklahoma! Or, god help you, Louisiana.
Hey, Louisiana is fun. Casinos, fishing, Carnival, wildlife, swamp boats and dancing.
I'm not saying Louisiana isn't fun, I'm saying that they'll probably imprison and torture you for getting an abortion or helping someone else get an abortion.
Also, sometimes abortions are an emergency, there might not be the time to get to Arizona or Nevada.
That is exactly what will happen. Even if the federal government steps in and stops what would effectively be a ban on traveling to another state you can bet that there will be more than a few states who will happily facilitate some sort of civil action and do their best to bankrupt anyone going out of state for an abortion, their family and anyone tangentally helping out.
Love to proudly announce with zero actual personal thoughts that "the States should decide this "
Yeah the states should definitely decide who can and cannot get a medical procedure very cool
I've heard this disingenuously come out of the mouths of Republicans but to find out some libs are just as bad is depressing.
if you want an abortion you can still get one in America, none of the laws are changing here
20+ states have laws on the books to ban abortion immediately if Roe v Wade is repealed
I watched a documentary on abortion a while back where a nurse at a clinic that provided abortions recalled getting a call from a 16-year old. Both the clinic and the kid were in Texas but 4-5 hours apart. The kid asked the nurse what she could do at home to do the abortion herself, if she could drink bleach, etc.
I think about that a lot.
if you want an abortion you can still get one in America
Exact same reactionary line of thinking that says racism doesn't exist because in theory a black person can become a doctor because of a lack of explicit legal barriers. A focus on the theoretical possibilities open to individuals (usually the most privileged within a group) while ignoring the implications for the broader group.
:amerikkka:
Around my workplace I've heard blame being passed to everything from Bernie, Manchin, AOC (?), to the left being "too woke on LGBT issues" (??????????)
“too woke on LGBT issues” (???)
If you consider politics some sort of zero sum game this is just reworked "it's the lefts fault" because they had to do their transgenderism and as such to appeal to moderate republican voters obviously now you have to live with abortions being banned. Can't tip the scales!
Lol lmao, maybe the people who do bad things constantly will randomly do a good thing bc … reasons?
Also “go to another state” obv isn’t an option for everyone and some states, like mine, will pass laws to prevent it
Lot of “well it doesn’t effect me” shit
ask them if they think emancipating the slaves was federal overreach
then ask them about mandates to wear masks and vaccines by employers and businesses
yeah we're just gonna make it cost an airline ticket or 1+ days of car travel to get it which poors cant afford :blob-no-thoughts:
“well you can still travel between states, it’s not like we live in a military dictatorship”
Yea about that, it's going to be different kind dictatorship, a dictatorship under religion after exhausted its two hundred years of modernization capital
Its not really a dictatorship if its enacted by law made by representatives elected by the citizens of the state. Thats the sucky part about all this. In about half the states of :amerikkka: the majority of the people WANT this to happen. They've been BEGGING for this to happen for decades. We need religious purges.
"It's okay, you can just drive 20 hours each way to the nearest abortion clinic 3 states away"
What are people without disposable income and copious PTO supposed to do?
