For obvious reasons, I don't expect any detailed answers to this, but is anyone aware of

[Atticus]

an effort to organize a sort of "underground railroad" for women forced to quietly leave their home state for an abortion? I'm thinking like volunteer drivers, temporary lodging, maybe an "on-call" local nurse----just, in general, assistance and support.

Anything?

[PatSeg]

1. Excellent question

I hadn't thought of that.

[brush]

2. It might come to that if the abortion ban goes through.

And the extreme SCOTUS justices appear determined to cram this eedieval change dowu the nation's throat.

[Delmette2.0]

3. Yes, there is.

I don't know the names and I don't know who to trust except Planned Parenthood.

4. I know that Maryland has at least one organization like that

I recently was asked to give someone a reference to work for them

5. But ... but ...

Amy Coney Dumbass says if you don’t want your baby, you can just put it in the box for newborns at the fire station!

See how easy that is, ladies?

Never mind the 1000s of reasons a woman should not be forced to go through a pregnancy …

7. Abandonment is a really sick and expensive means of birth control...

When a condom costs $0.25.

11. FREE at planned Parenthood!

[Hugin]

15. True, that!

I still think the sperm donors should pony up something.

13. She and her ILK want those babies!!!!!

They are willing to raise them to be good little Christian soldiers!!! UGH

[RainCaster]

16. No they don't- they want "somebody else"

To care for those unwanted children.

6. "These companies are assuring workers they'll help them access abortions"

"The clothing brand Levi Strauss & Co. said in a statement on Wednesday that employees could get reimbursed for travel expenses for health care services not available in the state where they live, including abortions, through the company's benefits plan. Part-time hourly workers could also seek reimbursement."

Amazon, Citigroup, Yelp, Uber, Lyft and others have already announced such support. The list of companies will probably increase.

[Hugin]

8. Yeah, we saw how committed companies are after their flip-flop on not funding insurrectionist...

political parties after the attempted Jan 6th coup.

[samnsara]

9. ive publically posted that my home is open to any women looking for health care

..Im in Washington State and can house a woman during her procedure.

[secondwind]

14. I would do the same if I could...

but I live outside the U.S. thank goodness for folks like you!!!!

10. I'm old and out of touch, but we did these things prior to Roe.

I hope there are a lot of young women, like me and my sister, who will band together for mutual support if anyone is in need of an abortion - an underground railroad so to speak. We helped (between us and our friends) I think it was 7 people get abortions in NYC while it was illegal here in FL. We'd give them the phone numbers of Planned Parenthood & of the airlines that had cheap direct flights,, and help them with the cost of the abortion and the plane trip and they would be expected to pay it back as they could. 7 is the number of people we knew, I hope these others did the same and the actual numbers were a lot bigger.

Anyway, something like that is what's needed now for poor young women, for the most part. All of us were between 16-21, but I'm sure this would be helpful for older women as well.

12. was it in france (during WWll?) that hand made protest posters were slathered all over the country?

..during the night they appeared..crude but powerful messages of resistance
