[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Think about all of the cars that cross over from Virginia to Maryland on the beltway during the morning and evening rush hour commutes.  Probably hundreds of cars *per minute*.  Would Virginia really force an epic logjam on the beltway so that every single female traveler could undergo a pregnancy test?  The logistics of this is mind-boggling to me.[/quote]

The logistics are easy to solve.  If a woman who can get pregnant wishes to travel out of the no-abortion state into a state where abortion is legal, she needs a special travel permit stating she is not pregnant.

The permit is updated once monthly at the appropriate time, by stopping into any Minute Clinic or Rite aid and getting a test..  That's where her travel permit is stamped.  A positive pregnancy test means her travel permit is confiscated.

Highways and streets into abortion states are patrolled randomly (like HOV lanes) and women can be pulled over and asked for their out of state travel permit.   The punishment for being caught without a "I'm not pregnant" travel permit into a non-abortion state is severe enough to be a disincentive.[/quote]

Wow. Sounds like you have a wonderful imagination. Let us know when we should stop by our local Rite Aid. [/quote]

I do have the ability to imagine what could happen in the future as a logical consequence of what is happening now.

What I have described is logistically possible, it may be legally possible; the biggest reason it won’t happen is that it could be politically unpopular; however women have become so brainwashed that they may go along with this.[/quote]

I just posted, and I agree, I think what would stop it is not the absurdity, or even the politics, but the financial implications of women/families having to pay for it cause I don't picture the government paying for every woman age....what.....12 to 52 every month? It would have to be an individual expense, and that would be unpopular.[/quote]
