It is a logical option, what would you recommend for a pregnant lady in a pro-life state who doesn't want the baby ?
It's only a "logical" option if you have the money and support and help to do so. It's also only a "logical" option if jobs paying the equivalent or better than what you're currently making happen to grow on trees where you might be able to move.
There are so many who just stick their noses in the air and say "Just move", for a variety of reasons. I've been told to "just move" because of various issues that have come up and the person who says this is not unoften someone working in some social agency or medical setting who absolutely cannot wrap their minds around the reasons why I need the type of place I'm already in. I will not "just move" for someone else's convenience.
People who need medical services that should be available in any city should not have to "just move" because certain demographics can't just mind their own <censored> business.
Finally, I denounce the suggestion that moving to Canada is a realistic option to escape the Republican Party in the strongest terms possible. For one thing Canada has plenty of its own crazy misogynists, for another immigrating into Canada isn't easy in general.
One of those crazy misogynists just lost the UCP nomination in my riding (nominations are going on now all over the province because our next election is scheduled for May 2023). Considering who won, I guess it's good news. It's not great news, given that my current MLA is the Canadian version of Betsy De Vos, minus the wealth and guns. She's an anti-choicer who used to be on the Catholic school board and saw nothing wrong with busing high school kids to an anti-abortion rally in Edmonton as a "field trip." But at least she's not an anti-vaxxer who supported the "freedumb convoy". In fact, she jumped the vaccine queue by several weeks.
And here's something else: Canada cannot continue to be the ones who will just "always be there" for Americans who are constantly being victimized by their own government's rules and regulations. Yes, we've said we'll do abortions for women who can't get them in their own states and who live near the border. There's actually been reciprocity between the two countries where women have been closer to medical facilities in the other country than in their own. But this attitude that "why should we bother fixing our problems? People can just go to Canada" has to stop. FIX YOUR PROBLEMS! If it means voting strategically, rather than how you've always voted, do it.
It's not just abortions (please keep in mind that our health system here is actually NOT free; it's just paid for in a different way, with taxes and various insurance schemes - I wasn't covered for prescriptions for several months this year due to a glitch, and ended up having to ration my meds). I'm reminded of the "insulin caravans" that went across the border several years ago - busloads of people crossing the border, swarming the Canadian pharmacies, buying up 3-month supplies of insulin at
Canadian prices, when Canadian diabetics are only allowed a 30-day supply. What's a Canadian diabetic supposed to do if they need insulin and are told, "Sorry, the busload of Americans that came through this morning just cleaned us out. You'll have to go somewhere else or wait." And some of those Americans who were on those buses freely admitted they weren't even diabetic - can you say "black market"?
Can you not even conceive of the idea that moving has costs that not everyone can pay? People who can afford to just move if they have an unplanned pregnancy can probably afford to fly to Europe for the abortion anyway lol
There actually are people who can't conceive of moving costs that include much more than just paying the movers to pick stuff up and carry it from one place to another, assuming there's somewhere to carry it to at all.
The following quoted post makes this more than obvious:
I am aware that there are costs to moving and can conceive of pro-choice people crowd funding poor people's travel etc. costs.
Oh, so rather than fix an unconstitutional law (it would be unconstitutional in Canada, as it would stomp all over women's Charter rights in several ways), the victims should just expect sympathizers to do crowd-funding? And how fast do you suppose these states would make THAT illegal?
You. Just. Don't. Get. It. At. All.
