[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is fanciful.  Women arent going to have to validate pregnancy status to travel.  The fact that THIS is where the left is focused shows exactly why they wont be able to get a leg up-- everyone is focused on licing out dystopian novel fantasies. I didnt think, at first, that Rs would ve able to pull off a nationwide ban, but now Im pretty sure they can since their opposition is all way down the rabbit hole. [/quote]

I totally agree. I’m beginning to think this thread is really a couple right wing trolls trying to have some fun whipping up terror in the “libs” - while moving the Overton window in the process.[/quote]

It's not fanciful. It's actually on the table:  https://www.nytimes.com/2022/07/15/opinion/abortion-rights-travel.html

Do I think women will have to take pregnancy tests at the border? No. But Red states are going to try to keep women from traveling for abortions, any way they feasibly can. In some cases, this will result in the detention of a woman and a pregnancy test; or a criminal proceeding forbidding her from leaving the state for the duration of the pregnancy.[/quote]

Almost none of what is being discussed here is “on the table” according to your own article - except the question of whether the home state can retain jurisdiction over a resident’s procurement of an abortion in a different state, and criminalize those who aid/abet.  (Which is very troubling in and of itself of course but a far cry from the dystopia being spun here…)
