In reply to the discussion: Abortion-Travel Bans Are "Next Frontier" With Roe Set to Topple [View all]jmowreader
(53,424 posts)To have even a slight chance of succeeding at stopping people from traveling to obtain abortions, they will have to spend about as much money on this effort as they do on everything else the state does. Unless the state wants to cut out all other spending...roads, bridges, schools, arresting drunk drivers, and on and on and on...they will simply HAVE to institute massive tax increases.
In the next election, the Democrats will have a guaranteed winning issue: "We are going to cut taxes by 50 percent by getting the government's nose out of women's vaginas."
The best part: The majority in this country DOES NOT SUPPORT abortion bans! They DO NOT WANT the government regulating people's personal lives to this extent! And they definitely don't want to pay to force every woman to have monthly pregnancy tests at government expense.
