Found this article how enterprising medical workers are working around restrictions.

Floating clinic provides abortions in federal waters off Texas

“Abort Off Shore” is an organization helping women get abortions. They travel into federal waters in the Gulf of Mexico where they aren’t under the restriction of state law.

If caught, the women could be held criminally and civilly liable. Civil penalties can run as much as $100,000. Under Senate Bill 8, anyone who helps can be sued for up to $10,000 by a private citizen.

In the end, abortion is an issue of fundamental human rights. To force women to undergo pregnancy and childbirth against their will is to deprive them of the right to make basic decisions about their lives and well-being, and to give that power to the state.

"Ain't that XERB, Baby!" take on a whole new meaning...

It is sad that it has come to this. But if radio stations can do it, then why not doctors...

Damn the democrats for not doing a damn thing for abortion rights the last 30 years when they had the chance to make it legal. They didn’t even try and fck Obama for promising to do it and then tell people it’s wasn’t his priority. You know damn well that if either of his girls gets pregnant and don’t want the child he’ll get them one. Republicans promised that they would make it illegal and democrats let them take the Supreme Court without a fight. And yes there were procedures they could have used to keep Kavanaugh and Barrett off.

Democrats will once again run on making it legal and anyone who believes them needs to get their brains checked.

The message echoes from Gaza back to the US. “Starving people is fine.”
