1. How are they going to know? Check women for bleeding in every fucking car?

10. i'm guessing it is one of those "after the fact" laws

like in Michigan it is illegal to have your cell phone in your hand when you drive. they can't waste their time checking for it but if they find out after you cause an accident you were using your phone, you'll get a separate additional penalty for that.

although, unless you actually live in the county, i don't know how they can penalize you if they find out "after the fact"?

2. LOL! I wish they would explain the enforcement mechanism.

3. What?

A speculum in every cop car?

Just have the women who are traveling these roads allow the officer to look down their throats to see if they had an abortion. Well, one lawmaker suggested that women could swallow little cameras to see if they are pregnant.

Geez.....

4. Why stop there?

Ban all air travel over the county.

5. For one, that's unenforceable. Two, it's unconstitutional

6. Interstate commerce clause come on down!

7. Remember that "pro-lifers" aren't pro- any actual life. The goal is to create fear and intimidation.

For instance, expect law enforcement there to set up roadblocks at random places and times to, oh I dunno, check for some unnamed fugitive killer. When they have a woman in the car of childbearing age, expect them to grill her and her travelling companions relentlessly about their identities and their itinerary. If they think they have a potential aborter, they'll call in a local vigilante to start legal proceedings.

If they somehow actually do manage to apprehend a woman on her way to another state to legally terminate her pregnancy there, expect a very public crucifixion.

Remember, the real goal isn't to save little babies. It's to torment sluts for having sex.

8. I'm heading down there in my Prius

dragging 20 bloodied Cabbage Patch dolls from the bumper.

11. Hope the people that make ads for the DNC are watching this.........

Something about how we're all losing our freedoms to gop rule, even restricting the roads we're allowed to drive on....

We really need to hammer home the loss of freedoms in 2024 advertising.

12. Everyone should go "sovereign citizen" on these people

Show up with carloads and insist on having pregnancy tests run on everyone in the vehicle. Overrun them with requests. Send the entire cities of Austin, San Antonio and Houston over there. Bombard them. Town revenue will dry up. (Don't eat there though, don't give them a penny)
