abortion is safe in blue states. Blue state folks are marching in outrage for red staters basically

[Demovictory9]

Blue states will be funding / arranging abortion access for red staters basically.

how does that serve the cause? Are we preventing red state women from knowing the true cost of eliminating Roe V Wade?

is my though process off here?

1. Yes, your process is off.

Women must march in solidarity with all women. Men must march in solidarity with all women. And don't kid yourself into thinking for a single moment that Blue States are safe. You can take to the bank that a NATIONAL BAN ON ABORTION could become the law if the republicans EVER gain enough seats in the Senate and House and win back the Presidency to make that happen. No one is safe.

5. Correct

If Mitch is back in charge, with the House and the WH in his column, you can be sure that he will completely nuke the filibuster for all legislation and lock it all up. National Abortion Ban, Marriage Equality gone. And on and on.

2. Anyone who has to travel to another state to get an abortion...

is already quite aware of the true cost.

Red states are not monolithic in either politics or support or lack thereof of abortion rights. We shouldn't penalize or ostracize those who seek safe access to abortion simply because of where they live.

[Merlot]

3. Abortion is not safe in blue states

It's on their target as well - as soon as repbulicans get the chance they will pass a nationwide abortion ban. How are you seeing that as "safe?"

So a woman who had to drive 15 hours or take a plane or bus to a blue state doesn't realize the "true cost?" The women who have to fear that some rando will sue them and their family doesn't get it?

13. They won't even wait til then

They challenge blue state protections claiming fetal personhood is in the constitution

4. A person's zip code doesn't determine whether or not they're "worthy" of health care.

6. "Are we preventing red state women from knowing the true cost of eliminating Roe V Wade?"

Perhaps a concern, but does it outweigh our concern about forcing women to have children they don't want?

I plan on financially supporting efforts to get women to free states because my concern for the latter outweighs the former. It's barely a conundrum for me in fact.

7. The morally correct thing to do is to prevent avoidable suffering, not stand idly by to teach

people a lesson. There will be plenty of suffering which inevitably goes unprevented despite our best efforts to teach those lessons anyway.

8. This is about a hell of a lot more

than the legality of abortion. This is about making women second class citizens and turning out country into a religious oligarchy. People in blue states are saying get your f**king Christianity out of our government PERIOD.

9. In my state abortion is safe now. It will not be safe is the wrong guy becomes Governor..

Abortion is not “safe” anywhere.

[Midnight Writer]

10. My State protects abortion, but my Representative is a rabid Right Winger.

Fighting for rights has to be local, has to be statewide, has to be national.

If any one doesn't count, no one counts.

11. The Handmaid states are going to learn a lesson very soon.

The Free states tolerance for their bullshit is finite. We WILL react and it WILL NOT be to your liking.

[chowder66]

12. It's about having women's rights stripped. Doesn't matter where you live.

It's also about this activist Supreme Court that is going against precedent.

It's also about what comes next from them; LGBTQ rights, Contraception, Voting rights, etc.

What other rights are they going to try to take from people? It sure as hell isn't guns!
