Dear Roger,
Several years ago, we discussed the potentialthreat to Roe v. Wade and what to do were it repealed.
• Back then Obama was POTUS.
• SCOTUS was reasonable.
• God was in Her heaven.
Alas, with the Kennedy resignation plus thewackadoodle Trump Cultist Congress, the situation is suddenly dicey to dire.
Ifthe idea described below flies, no matter what SCOTUS, POTUS, lower courts, Congress or the states decide about Roe v. Wade, safe abortions will be forever available—free—to all women of child-bearing age in America.
From Politico.comState abortion ballots prepare for post-Roe world
Many states have turned to both ballotmeasures and legislation to enact abortion policy in the event of a dramaticSupreme Court decision.
Also:
The key sentence:
If you live inCalifornia, Oregon, Washington, New York State or Massachusetts, it’s prettylikely that abortion will remain legal like it was in New York and Washingtonbefore Roe.
Elsewhere—especiallyfor desperate rural poor and minority women—it’s back to the 19th century—wirecoat hangers, medical quacks, fatal infections, fetal agony, infanticide and suicides.
Step 1
• Giveme 15 minutes with Warren Buffet to propose a new profit center forhis NetJets.
• Followed by one-on-one meetings with other rich-rich FORBES 400s—Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, GeorgeSoros, Larry Page, Larry Ellison, etc.
• Set up a501c3 corporation.
• Fund agreeablehospitals in those states permitting abortions to expand into major women’shealth centers to handle the influx of women.
• Make available free condoms, freebirth control pills, free morning-after pills.
• Set up anational communications and transportation network to enable women in need tocome and go to and from these facilities on short notice—via Uber, Lyft, motor coach,puddle-jumper aircraft and—for long distances—Buffet’s NetJets.
• Timetargets: 18 hours max round-trip point-to-point (e.g., Indiana - NewYork is 737 miles. NetJets).
• Extended timefor difficult cases.
Step 2
• When Democrats reclaim afederal majority, sponsor a bill whereby U.S. Passport requirements are waivedin the case of 18-hour excursions in and out of the country. Call them“Temporary Health Exit-Return Visas” (THERV’s).
• Locate hospitals/clinics inCanada & Mexico on the U.S. borders. Perhaps 4 on each border. Startwith communities very close to the U.S. border with existing hospitals orclinics to be upgraded (including good housing for the workers). Plus, ofcourse, near-by world-class airports. (See below for two possible venues.)
Negotiate with Canada andMexico. This should be an attractive proposition to these two governments, asthe major expansion of several health facilities will improve the lifestyle ofthe local communities and account for an influx of new jobs.
• Supply each agreed-uponvenue a big infusion of cash to expand into world-class women’s healthfacilities.
• Set up a nationwidecommunications and transportation system for pregnant women of any age inAmerica to access these facilities for safe, 18-hour travel and terminationprocedures—Free.
• Employ Buffet’s NetJets forlong distance travel; use motor vehicles, helicopters and piston puddle-jumpersfor shorter distances.
