Women are being raped and then having kids taken away when born and given to other families?
I am not sure of the point of this thread.
They have cars. If they want to leave, then they can make arrangements.No......
Think back all the way to yesterday.
Are you worried about the people in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, etc.? Should there be a plan to get them to a state/country where abortion isn't banned?

Then they should vote for their interests.Not everyone has a vehicle or the money to move, though.
There's nothing stopping anyone from leaving those states.In The Handmaid's Tale, June works with the Rebel group to get a plane to land in Gilead and smuggle out several children and Marthas and take them to Canada.
Is it time for that June Osborne moment in the US? What uber rich pro-choicers do you expect to step up and help people get out of Texas, Arkansas, Missouri, etc.? Would you donate/help?
Several rich pro-choicers have pledged money to Planned Parenthood....if you've been reading the news you might have noticed Lizzo, One Nation and Rage Against the Machine have pledged $500,000 each from tour proceeds. I'm sure that will be only the beginning.In The Handmaid's Tale, June works with the Rebel group to get a plane to land in Gilead and smuggle out several children and Marthas and take them to Canada.

Much as I like some/many/most Americans I hope you will not ALL come to Sweden. Five million would be quite sufficient.In The Handmaid's Tale, June works with the Rebel group to get a plane to land in Gilead and smuggle out several children and Marthas and take them to Canada.

I've suggested before that Sweden, Canada, and New Zealand might be welcoming for some.Much as I like some/many/most Americans I hope you will not ALL come to Sweden. Five million would be quite sufficient.

Do you wish to donate to help, or to keep them from leaving?
I understand what you're saying but it hasn't (quite) gotten that bad yet. Only way out of this is voting the prehistoric people out-the-door.

To get them an abortion, yes. That doesn't mean they should be forced to leave their state, encouraged to do so, which would only make it worse for the country, sending representatives from states that they don't really represent the people who lived there when those seats were drawn up.It's not a dire situation for those people who cannot get an abortion in the state they're living in?

Who thinks there won't be Planned Parenthood anymore? Abortion is a small portion of the services they provide, and they will continue to do so.How will that help people where there is no Planned Parenthood anymore?
Why would I want to stop them from leaving?
No, I won’t be donating to anywhere that encourages elective abortions. I will, however, continue to support organizations that help mothers purchase formula, baby food, clothing, housing, etc.
Come on, Josie. Gilead doesn’t happen overnight. When travel is restricted, when husbands need to sign birth control prescriptions, when they confiscate all money in any account that belongs to “F” and not “M,” maybe we can talk about those things.In The Handmaid's Tale, June works with the Rebel group to get a plane to land in Gilead and smuggle out several children and Marthas and take them to Canada.

The ban on abortion will make some states very unappealing to young women starting their careers, and businesses might take heed of that.
The donations that will come in will help women travel out of state if they choose to.
Baby formula and diapers are nice....but they hardly make a dent in the lifetime commitment to parenting. I wouldn't overestimate the power of such feel good "donations". Do some of those organizations pose as abortion providers in their advertising?
What about health insurance, day care, transportation, tuition, etc. etc....You know the things red states very much oppose?
A bit more of a commitment than diapers for sure.

For now, yes, I will absolutely help any woman that wants it, regardless. Pills? A ride across country?(*Lookin at you, Missouri!*) Networks are already working overtime.
And I believe in these principles enough to go to jail for. I also believe in a 1st world country in 2022 we would not need another Underground Railroad.
I think much will be revealed in the 2022 mid terms and the 2024 election. I used to think we had at least til 2050ish.
What if they want to leave the state but can't afford it? Will you provide them with everything they need to get from Missouri to a more suitable state for them?
