From Salon, “The quest to enact local bans has become particularly acute in small towns, like West Wendover and Hobbs, New Mexico, which are situated by borders between states that have restricted abortion and states where laws preserve access. They are crossroads where abortion advocates and providers have looked to establish clinics to serve people traveling from the large swaths of the U.S. where states have banned or severely restricted abortions after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned nearly 50-year-old nationwide abortion protections established by the court’s decision in Roe v. Wade. … The Cerros brothers have tried to organize a group to support abortion access and establish the Planned Parenthood clinic in West Wendover, but have found it difficult to sustain [emphasis added].”
So, this is the new anti-abortion front that I can assure you Democrats are completely oblivious to because they’re worthless morons who are always behind the eight ball and can never foresee the worst as RepubliKKKlans do just that — the worst. (They just think the worst that can happen is at the state level. Nope!) So, if any state has any form of legalized abortion, then no problem: Just deny any and all local permits needed for an establishment providing abortion services — hell, any healthcare service for that matter. Better to deny healthcare in total than risk allowing a right protected by the state! SCOTUS has already provided a road map for this type of infringement before they struck down Roe. The court restricted abortion by every other means — licensing, accreditation, etc. Now local governments are doing what they can at their level of power to ban abortions, which is basically permitting. Can’t perform abortions or provide abortion medication if there is no building in which to do it. Checkmate! So, all that sea of red one sees in a political map of America, where major cities are blotches of blue, will be the actual abortion deserts no matter what the state laws provide! And to be clear, only the blue areas in blue states count. Blue cities in red states are still abortion deserts. Oh, well! Democrats outfoxed again. I’ll repeat what I always say about abortion rights: It’s always someone else’s problem. Welcome to stupid America!
