I support the federal government opening abortion clinics on Native American land

[ripcord]

But only so long as there is enough security added into the bill to protect the clinics and the reservations from the violence we know will come.

1. People need to stop putting this forward as if it's a solution. It's not.

Please read up on this issue as well as the issue of colonization. Since when has the federal government ever come onto reservations with the best interest of the residents there? Jesus Christ, educate yourself.

2. All kinds of things wrong with that statement

3. WTF? Reservations are sovereign, and the federal government can't just stroll in

and open clinics or anything else.

4. Second time I've seen this suggestion here.

Wrong on so many levels.

5. Do the tribes get a say? The health care available to Native Americans

on reservations is minimal. Opening up clinics on Indian land for non-members is kind of a slap in the face to the Native Americans who live there.

8. WTF?

Do you know anything about the sovereignty of reservations? That belongs to the tribes, the US gov't has no jurisdiction nor legal avenue to doing such a thing unless invited by the tribes themselves.

If we want clinics on reservations, we had better do a massive upgrade to their medical systems first.
