How to Forever Guarantee
All Women's Right to Choose.
Several years ago I started worrying about the potential
threat to Roe v. Wade and what to do were it repealed.
• Back then Obama was POTUS.
• SCOTUS was reasonable.
Alas, with Associate Justice Kennedy's resignation plus the
wackadoodle Trump Cultist Congress, the situation is suddenly dicey to dire.
If the idea described below flies, no matter what SCOTUS, POTUS, lower courts, Congress or the states decide about Roe v. Wade, safe abortions will be forever available—free—to all women of child-bearing age in America.
If the idea described below flies, no matter what SCOTUS, POTUS, lower courts, Congress or the states decide about Roe v. Wade, safe abortions will be forever available—free—to all women of child-bearing age in America.
Many states have turned to both ballot
measures and legislation to enact abortion policy in the event of a dramatic
Supreme Court decision.
The key sentence:
If you live in
California, Oregon, Washington, New York State or Massachusetts, it’s pretty
likely that abortion will remain legal like it was in New York and Washington
before Roe.
Elsewhere—especially
for desperate rural poor and minority women—it’s back to the 19th century—wire
coat hangers, medical quacks, fatal infections, fetal agony, infanticide and suicides.
Step 1
• Give
me 15 minutes with Warren Buffet to propose a new profit center for
his NetJets.
• Followed by one-on-one meetings with other rich-rich FORBES 400s—Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, George
Soros, Larry Page, Larry Ellison, etc.
• Set up a
501c3 corporation.
• Fund agreeable
hospitals in those states permitting abortions to expand into major women’s
health centers to handle the influx of women.
• Make available free condoms, free
birth control pills, free morning-after pills.
• Set up a
national communications and transportation network to enable women in need to
come and go to and from these facilities on short notice—via motor coach,
puddle-jumper aircraft and—for long distances—Buffet’s NetJets.
• Time
targets: 18 hours max round-trip point-to-point (e.g., Indiana - New
York is 737 miles. NetJets).
• Extended time
for difficult cases.
Step 2
• When Democrats reclaim a
federal majority, sponsor a bill whereby U.S. Passport requirements are waived
in the case of 18-hour excursions in and out of the country. Call them
“Temporary Health Exit-Return Visas” (THERV’s).
• Locate hospitals/clinics in
Canada & Mexico on the U.S. borders. Perhaps 4 on each border. Start
with communities very close to the U.S. border with existing hospitals or
clinics to be upgraded (including good housing for the workers). Plus, of
course, near-by world-class airports. (See below for two possible venues.)
Negotiate with Canada and
Mexico. This should be an attractive proposition to these two governments, as
the major expansion of several health facilities will improve the lifestyle of
the local communities and account for an influx of new jobs.
• Supply each agreed-upon
venue a big infusion of cash to expand into world-class women’s health
facilities.
• Set up a nationwide
communications and transportation system for pregnant women of any age in
America to access these facilities for safe, 18-hour travel and termination
procedures—Free.
• Employ Buffet’s NetJets for
long distance travel; use motor vehicles, helicopters and piston puddle-jumpers
for shorter distances.

Alas, Denny, faster than you can get all this done, SCOTUS and other forces that hate giving women control over their own bodies would find ways to defeat it. Abortion clinics in Canada? The news this morning was about the Trump government's refusing to allow a Canadian citizen entry into the United States because he had invested — invested! — in a corporation that raises marijuana in a state where doing so is legal.
ReplyDeleteThe only way to get rid of horrid anti-abortion (and soon to come, anti-birth control) laws is to get the bastards behind them out of power and, in some cases, into prison where they belong.
Thank you for taking the time to Comment.
ReplyDeleteThe reason for the 2 Step plan is:
Step 1 can be executed NOW while women's right to choose is legal is some states.
Step 2 is post 2018/20 where a dramatic change in government will allow for passage pf as short-term temporary health exception to Passport regulations. This plan will then circumvent all state and federal anti-abortion laws.
Your New York Crank may be a little over the top Denny but his bottom line seems right on. Get the bastards out of power. They know not what they destroy.
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking the time to comment, Peter.
DeleteBased on the incoming today, it's depressingly obvious how wildly split the country is. I invited all wrote in to post their comments in this section, hoping to generate some debate. I love discussion—pro and con. Makes for interesting reading.
Thanks again. Cheers.
Brilliant. Thank you. I'm glad I know you. Also, once established. doctors in home states will make themselves available for post-operative consultation, if needed.
