    liberals like this never wonder how one's class position impacts these choices.

    what states you can travel to,

    "don't let anyone tell you where you can visit flying business class" that is this woman's conception of freedom

    what you can & cannot do with your own body

    if you are rich you can just fly somewhere to have your abortion, seems like Jo should know that after conspicuously mentioning "freedom" to travel

      yeah, one of the main complaints my parents' generation had about the warsaw pact times was that they couldnt travel as easily.

      nobody ever talks about how poor people cant travel even now, in this supposed freedom...

        Never travelled on my own dime in my adult life and I'm mid 30s. I often can't afford to even travel to see family unless they live within a few hours of me. Have been saving up to travel for years now.

          yeah, capitalism managed to somehow externalize this too. it's not the government stopping you, it's just a maaaagic force field, called money.

      I think she might have been referring to laws preventing "abortion tourism", not to run excessive defense for her at some parts very vague post.
