[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where are those people who are fine with banning abortion as long as they have low taxes and will just drive their daughters to a blue state if they need an abortion?  Will you still do that if there is a chance you could be charged with a crime?  Or those people who are fine with their DDs going to a red state for college and coming home to get an abortion?  If the state goes after her, are you ready to spend $$$ on legal fees?[/quote]

+1 exactly - treat this seriously folks. When in Rome, Rome's laws apply. If you travel to an area of the country which makes abortion a crime, like murder, then you take some risk if you find yourself in that type of situation. Don't think you can somehow evade a state's laws because it looks easy to do so (mailing drugs, hopping on a flight, driving a car, etc).[/quote]

Exactly. Where you want to live, move, vacation, or go on a work trip will be limited if you are now female and able to get pregnant.

What happens if you have health problems while pregnant and on a work trip or a vacation? What happens if you are date raped in a red state and then go back home to have an abortion? If life starts at conception, will women be able to take plan B after a rape? [/quote]

Yes, that's exactly right. Don't think that because it looks easy to evade restrictions via mail order pills, travel out of state (or even return to your state) that these states won't go to some effort to make this difficult in the future. Remember, laws of the place you are visiting apply to you. That's true of foreign countries, and its also true of states you are in.[/quote]
