(11,686 posts)If any state or anyone wants to really help that is what they will need to do.
I do wonder what the penalties could be to a woman/girl who goes back home after the abortion.
How are they going to help people who are where the women are who are helping them?
Can they still be sued for helping them to get to California?

(16,847 posts)But these are fucking crazy times! We've got the second-biggest state passing a law that people can run around turning in women who have abortions to the authorities and getting a big reward for it. Then we have the biggest state proposing to pay for procedures and expenses for people who travel there.
How can this coexist in the same country? If you have rights in one state, you should have them in all states. Not privileges, those are subject to change, I'm talking about rights. Things can't go on like this for much longer, I think.

I think these nuts hope people wont fight back. Theyre fucking delusional. This is a country that is used to rights being granted, not taken away.
