Big day for Evangelical rapists

And who is giving them the time off work for that kind of medical vacation? The time off from family and other obligations. All you're doing is supporting the well-off GOP in its push to preserve the freedom of abortion for them, who have available alternative options, and keeping it out of the hands of the poor, who don't and who are in an even worse position to support the results. And we all know you're not actually going to be willing to host many of those who aren't well off anyway. And where's the protection from prosecution afterwards?

You're listing reasons why abortion should be broadly accessible, which I agree with. But saying that I would only host someone who is well off is uncalled-for and inaccurate, considering we're also donating funds to pay for said travel. By definition the not-well-off would be the people connected with hosts, because — partly thanks to regulations and unions — it's difficult to find a place to stay in my abortion-friendly state.

That's the thing that 70% of Americans disagree with.

If that were the case, we could have added federal abortion protections long ago to harmonize this across the state. But it was a political hot potato, because abortion is a wedge issue.

To be honest I also still don't understand how you guys are using a system that relies on a constitution vague enough that centuries later there's still major discussion about what it means, then appoint political judges to decide on it, and those political appointments (for life, mind you) can just decide to overturn old decisions (which weren't even 5-4 close or anything) which were reaffirmed multiple times.. just to state they were all wrong?

They don't overturn past rulings often. And especially on "major" issues that get a lot of attention. Part of why this is such a big deal.

Obama fought an election (amongst other things) on doing this and then, like any good centrist, reneged as soon as he got power. Biden has done exactly the same thing. So the problem isn't 'abortion is too controversial' but 'the democrats do not actually do the things they say they'll do'.

As said in the NYT today; the Democrat leadership isn't ready to accept that the system they have been a part of for most of their lives is falling apart, and don't have a beginning of a plan.
