Does that make her an abortion NIMBY?
NIMBA, Not In My Back Alley
Women needing an abortion to save their life should not have to travel further than the nearest hospital.
Many insurance companies won’t cover out of state abortions, regardless of necessity.
How convenient for them.
Hang the insurance industry.
If traveling is an option for these people why ban it at all? Oh right, because only privileged people should have the ability to get healthcare. The poors are slaves and get what their masters give them, right Lake?
Well, the idea of sex without lifelong consequences should be reserved for the betters.
She's trying to do damage control and this is the best she can come up with? Don't fall for her bullshit because the psychos in Arizona want to do the same types of things that Texas has done: put a bounty on anyone who helps someone get an abortion and criminalize driving on interstate highways if abortion is involved. They should have left banning abortion as the ultimate carrot on the stick for their sick constituents, because reality is going to kick their asses this November.
I guess it's time to start an abortion bus service
And after driving through the desert for several hours on this bus to receive an abortion, you get one point.
Where you gonna get to in 3 hours from PHX? More Arizona. Maybe there is an aviation taxi service she's not telling us about?
For Kari Lake there is, who cares about the poors
Exactly, they think through sheer will we can overcome the things they were handed.
Hey hey hey, you can get to the popup abortion clinic in Blythe from downtown in 2h18 👍🏽
But then you gotta visit Blythe ugg
Let’s make Kari travel 3 hours south or Arizona permanently
It's hard to figure out their position on abortion when it keeps changing.
It’s “we want to fuck over women, but we can’t say that.”
The voting public need to remember just what the con party is up to and vote against them all up and down the ticket.
I wish she'd go choke on some barbed wire.
