States have jurisdiction to 3 miles out. With Florida and Texas, it’s 9 miles on the Gulf side.

That's what I always understood, if it is a Federal boundary it is also the State's.

First they tried the idea of federal baby killing stations set up in “federal” land.
Then it was offshore.

The amount of energy being expended in the quest to let as many women as possible kill as many of their babies as possible, is unhealthy. It is the sign of a mind that doesn’t work right.

This total obsession the left has with abortion is just plain sick. Weren’t these the same people who years ago told us something to the effect they wanted abortions to be “legal, safe but RARE”?

Yes, and they are the same ones who claimed that 97% of Planned Parenthhood's business has nothing to do with abortion, but is for ... uh, cancer detection. Mammograms and stuff like that. Yeah, that's the ticket.

I dont give a flying fig what a priest does or does not forgive. Christ will forgive abortion the same way He forgives any other sin. If the guilty party turns to Him in faith and humility and repents they will be forgiven. No sin is bigger than Cbrists forgiveness

The clinic, floating in federal waters in the Gulf of Mexico, would not be subject to abortion restrictions in nearby states, according to the FAQs on the PRROWESS website

Maybe not subject to abortion restrictions in nearby states, but most definitely subject to being a boat. Fuel, food, harbor in bad weather, etc.. where is that all coming from? From the states whose laws she's flouting? Also, anyone think they're going to get a "donated" boat that doesn't need major repairs and regular maintenance?

Federal waters go out 12 nautical miles; a weaker set of claims goes out 24 nautical miles, and the “Exclusive Economic Zone” goes out 200 nautical miles.

All of the boundaries are subject to “or half the distance to the next country, whichever comes first.”

Federal waters go out 12 nautical miles”

No, post #81 is correct. Depending on state and location it’s 3 and 12. I know of no Federal 12 mile unless it’s some fishing or other type of regulation, I am unaware of.

Make that 3 and 9.

Texas is 9 because that is what Spain had and Texas entered the Union with the 9 mile limit.

Abortions were first legalized in the Soviet Union in 1920. In some ways it’s a core policy for communism since it coarsens a people to view life as having lesser or no value. There are many ripple effects throughout society as a result. Interestingly enough the Soviet Union seeing the effect it had on birth rates banned it around 1936 for the following 19 years after which it was legalized again and remains so.

The left in the US of course followed the USSR lead and with their success of Roe in 1973 like you say became obsessed with it. I think part of it is demonic and a lot of it is wrapped up in the sexual revolution that happened prior to Roe. Free and easy sex sort of requires it as insurance.

Good Info/Data, I see where you get 12 miles. BUT, the issue at hand is how far a U.S. State such as Alabama or Texas could extend it’s state law jurisdiction on abortion out into the Gulf of Mexico. The 12 miles is for international affairs between the U.S. and other countries. Presumably, a barge or ship would have to be 9 miles plus off the Texas coast to perform abortions without risk of violating Texas law.
I have been on small gambling/casino ships that went out past the 9 mile Texas limit and then turned on the slots and opened up the tables.
