Velshi: ‘Abortion tourism’ will lead to a deadend for reproductive care

Virginia is now the only destination in the Southeast region for abortions after 12 weeks. That’s because abortion is now banned after 6 weeks in Florida. Before Florida’s strict ban, it was a refuge for abortion access in the South, even despite its prior 15-week ban. Millions of women in the South will now need to travel to Virginia for reproductive care. The Right is calling it ‘abortion tourism’ which minimizes the journey many women are forced to take just to get an abortion.

And if you are pregnant, it becomes dangerous to travel to these states that ban abortion because if you need emergency care, you may not be able to access it.

Mandatory vasectomies is a very viable
In terms of the big picture:
1. Stops unchosen pregnancy
2. Stops mental and physical life long scars on female children from unchosen pregnancy.
3. Stops young men from being held accountable to 18 years of child support by an unchosen pregnancy.
4. Stops fathers from going to jail for failure to make support payments.
5. Removes the need for social programs.
Which, in my opinion will, over time, result in every single child being a chosen child and the return of the family unit with fathers in the home to raise their children and to give their sons a hands on role model.
you know, the government can give women's bodies back.

Lots of women are ordering misoprostol from abroad. Also, miscarriages can be induced safely (but inadvisedly!) via supplements available at any drugstore. An early abortion (the vast majority) are indistinguishable from miscarriages, and nobody has to give medical staff any particular details, and nobody should ever talk to the police without an attorney.

None of this is ideal, of course.

6 week ban is a cop out. Either you are against abortion or you are not. A fetus is a potential person at conception, so if you are anti abortion the 6 week ban is hypocritical I can see rescue missions happening for these women with people volunteering to take legs of a car ride to get them someplace for an abortion. .It's what they do in animal rescue. I also believe people will find them a free place to stay.

This is one way to get people coming to Ca or NY, not fleeing..

[NHLblkgurl]

Maybe Ca and NY democrats can work in partnership with Planned parenthood and Uhaul to get their moving rental trucks back into their states?

MSNBC said this nonsense. Gee, I'm surprised.

"it's just a clump of cells", until decided by the mom/state human? 42 weeks in utero, just a clump of cells...just born? well, let's make you comfortable while your mother and the doctor decide if you are "just a clump of cells" or human (gov northam of Virginia said it and the defense was "he didn't say that" AFTER he was quoted, now it's that didn't happen AFTER you show the video).
ya'll are asking for a dark place.

Did anybody see Joe Biden‘s tax proposal? 44% capital gains tax. He’s raising the death tax. He’s also proposing taxing on unrealized gains.

How can anyone say "pregnant person" with a straight face ?? WOMEN get pregnant! When the first man gets pregnant, we can revisit language usage.

350 views after an hour... stick with Trump, MSDNC. That's all you got.

[bobevans]

You better come up with something better than abortion to run on that's not going to work.

They call it reproductive care 😆when the offspring is being killed. And they attack Noem for shooting a dangerous dog, that’s just pet care 😆🤣😂.
