10 year old rape victim in Ohio cant get abortion in her state
This girl is going to Indiana to have an abortion. The sad thing is in a few weeks that state will have the same laws as Ohio. Government as run by a psychotic religious cult. Thank you Federalist Society !
This will be a tragic and common story made even worse as low income people wont have the luxury of traveling out of state. They'll be stuck in Kavanaugh-land.
There are programs under way in states that are "islands" surrounded by other states where abortion is or will be banned, such as Illinois, where travel subsidies will be given to women who can't get abortions in their home states.
Of course, the Handmaid's Tale states are furiously cooking up ways to declare that illegal as well. But even a Trumper-scum state doesn't have jurisdiction over what happens in other states. And if women in the Trumper-scum states are forced to register their pregnancies, then they travel, and come back un-pregnant, the authorities there will arrest and interrogate them--but doctors in the free states will provide them with evidence of their tragic "miscarriages."
Ultimately, I expect the Handmaid's Tale states to imprison and monitor all pregnant women, and condemn to death any woman who doesn't carry her fetus to term--for ANY reason. "Her baby died--she's a murderer."
It's time to break up the US into Freeland and Jesusland.
