under 5th amendment. That would be nationwide. Women will have to travel to Canada or Mexico.

that all women be tested for pregnancy before international travel. can't have pregger's running around the world, now can we?

this scotus would uphold that. it would only take one election cycle to make it national.

They would use the precedent of covid testing requirements.

I never would have posted something that sounds that crazy in the past, but these are crazy times.

He is correct, we all can travel freely across state borders. Even if let say one is a resident of texas yesterday, what to say that they become a resient of California today?

Beware the massive PR campaign underway. I’m encouraging friends to brush-up on their 20th century European history - with the understanding that “history doesn’t repeat itself but it rhymes”.

Why in the world, after going through all this meticulous planning, would they allow interstate travel for abortion? It doesn’t compute. Don’t fall for it.

it is racist. Took me almost half of my life to break myself of using it. And he's been known to lie.

The point I was making is that we have absolutely no reason to trust in what Kavanaugh may or may not "believe", in this instance or any other.

Then him saying Roe was precedent and then voting to overturn it was not a lie.

So while I have no reason to trust Justice Kavanaugh, his statements at his confirmation hearings give me no specific reason not to.

IMHO, it should be "Kavanaugh believes theirs is the right to interstate travel for an abortion", meaning he and his ilk can send their wives, daughters, or girlfriends off to get an abortion when it's convenient for them. The rest of us are stuck where we are.

Just a pedantic septuagenarian here.

the right to travel. It is part of history and all that which abortion was said not to be.
