Hey ladies who are feeling trapped in an impossible situation in Texas/Alabama/ Missouri/Ohio/Georgia/whatever new state has decided you shouldn't have autonomy over your own body,
if you need to visit your Auntie/Cousin/Sister/BFF, you just DM me.

No judgement.
No questions.
I'll be here, pick you up from the airport/train/bus, hold your hand, help with "reservations", take you where you need to go, give you a peaceful place to escape.
We'll take some selfies at the monuments, go to the zoo, chill out by a campfire, check some cool art. You know, for your social media for those new state border checks just to prove you're all good.

And you will be all good.
Let's face it. It's been too long since we've seen each other. 😉

1. I'm game! Southern Arizona is beautiful!

DM me! I don’t do Facebook, but give permission to anyone who does to share this.

2. That is really beautiful as well as helpful!

I hope we won't need to use it.

3. The service is already provided. There are people across the country who drive and host

those traveling for medical care.

Need more people though.

The need has been there because of clinics closing and all the stupid little hits by states that make getting medical care harder.

The need will only grow if the haters have their way.

6. Well, then, the list of helpers will just grow right along with it.

These bastards are always defying what they think are restrictions on them. They’re always look g for ways to “get around” the rules. So why shouldn’t we, too?

If they can do, WE can do it.

Even Mr. Rogers recommended this kind of approach. Remember, it was he who quoted the advice that I think his mom gave him long ago, for when things go wrong: “look for the helpers.”

4. If you don't mind the help of an Uncle instead, Florida is still good.

Just DM me.

5. Great use of...

… social media! I wonder why FB and Twitter can't agree on PM or DM... OT, I know...

[Aristus]

7. That's what the haters will never understand: there are more of us than there are of them.

And we will win.

8. Sharing this

and adding my contact information.

9. Will other states allow out-of-staters use their services?

It just occurred to me that I'm not sure if our local clinic here in TN will.

12. Probably.

Before Roe, women went to New York all the time. But on a couple of different levels, I think states will let it happen.

13. It was no problem in 1969.

Before Roe v Wade, abortion was illegal all over the east coast except for NY. FL later changed their constitution to enshrine privacy, but that was after Roe v Wade. In 1969 we started our own underground railroad based in NE FL. We sent people to Planned Parenthood in NYC and they would do the abortion there prior to 10 weeks or send you to a dr. who would do a procedure up to 12 weeks. When one of our friends started hemorrhaging, they took her to a hospital. We helped by giving the Planned Parenthood # in NYC, helped with the calls if wanted, loaned $$ for the plane and cab rides, took people to the airport early in the am and picked them up later that same day.

It's just so disgusting that young women are going to have their reproductive choices limited so arbitrarily and viciously by hate filled stupid misogynistic controlling men and the women they have brainwashed. Rotten Russian Repugs in FL have a tougher path to hoe to make this come true here since a woman's right to medical privacy is now part of our constitution. Don't think they will be able to overturn that, they've been trying hard for the last 30+ years and no success so far.

10. Y'all, there are already a lot of services that do this. This is what state abortion funds are for.

They've been doing the work and so there isn't really a need to reinvent the wheel. Also, people need to not say they'll take strangers into their homes unless they'll take any and all strangers without already adding to trauma or intersectional oppressions.

11. I'm in!

Besides, who'd question a week-end in Vegas? We'll hit the dispensaries, too!
