or a lawyer I would be driving to another state to get what needs to be done. Then I would go back to that state and vote my butt off. I would get involved in helping others vote and we would change the state that is doing this to her/me. This is wrong but we have the power in the voting booth to change it

Where is this?

No abortions here. But it should still be available in IL or MN.

The baby cannot possibly survive. If the mother does not terminate, she will not survive. This is an emergency. She shouldn't have to travel.

but she can't change things at the moment so her choices are limited. Go to Il or MN get her procedure and then come back and kick ass. That's what I would do.

I wish her the best and I hope she survives this

Whether it's a 45 minute flight or a couple hours drive, she needs to seek out care.

Not the fantasy world that Alito and Thomas and Barrett and Kavanaugh and Roberts live in.

Things like this happen to women trying to have families. Are all women supposed to be willing to risk death to have a child?

9. Or the problem is having to seek legal opinion in the first place. It is the doctor and patient who

together, should decide treatment. Better yet, the doctor advises options and the patient decides.

I agree with what you said 100%.

This woman is seeking medical advice and options from her physician, who can NOT advise her until he obtains a legal opinion?!? Fuck that!

If she breaks the law, she and the patient could be arrested.
