MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — A California doctor is proposing a floating abortion clinic in the Gulf of Mexico as a way to maintain access for people in southern states where abortion bans have been enacted.
The idea is to provide a clinic aboard a ship in federal waters, and out of reach of state laws, that would offer first trimester surgical abortions, contraception and other care, said Dr. Meg Autry, an obstetrician and gynecologist and a professor at the University of California San Francisco.
“There’s been an assault on reproductive rights in our country and I’m a lifelong advocate for reproductive health and choice. We have to create options and be thoughtful and creative to help people in restrictive states get the health care they deserve,” she told The Associated Press.

Where’s a Cat 5 hurricane when you need one?
Perhaps a human abbatoir in space to eliminate the unwanted humans. We might even be able to get our UFO flying friends to build it for us.
Hey, could be used for infanticide, euthanasia, and - while we’re at it - a poor man’s pedophile island.
I notice all of these pro-abortion groups avoid the topic of using responsible birth control, I guess that’s to much to ask of people these days.
Money is good says the abortionist. They gladly violate the Hippocratic oath and moral decency for the all-mighty dollar.
Theological question of the day: Are the abortionists in the same circle of hell as the physicians ,surgeons and psychiatrists who are performing the trans gender mutilations and and abominations?
Abortion is completely legal up until birth in CA yet abortionists want to meddle in states that restrict or ban the gruesome act. This simply shows they’re losing the debate and are resorting to desperate measures.
seems it would have to outside 12 miles from any U.S. border ? otherwise, a conservative administration would probably go after the doctors.

It is against Fed Law to pay a prostitute travel expenses to cross State lines (interstate trade for illicit purposes) to engage in paid services of a sexual nature.
Think Elliot Spitzer.
I believe a rationally argue exists for extending this to include paying for travel expenses across State lines (interstate trade for illicit purposes) to procure an abortion.
Where this thought hinges is the consideration of the following scenario:
You take a business trip to Las Vegas (prostitutions is legal).
You are a resident of New York.
You pay the air fare and lodging of you favorite hooker in New York (prostitution illegal) to come stay with you.
The hooker is a resident of New York.
She agrees to “ply her sex trade” for which, you in turn, pay her for as previously agreed to (cost per act).
Is this \specific\ scenario a violation of the Mann Act?
Good thing for them that it’s nearly impossible to find surplus torpedoes....I think.
What happens if something goes wrong?
I guess those are the chances she will have to take. Good luck bitches.
“...assault on reproductive rights...”
No one has “assaulted” your right to reproduce, you idiot...
If they embark from a state which bans abortion, sorry, but they’re doing business in that states. Let them take the long way around from New York.
Boat owners should refuse to take food and supplies to their floating death camp. Make them go from New York and around Florida.
Of course. The entire marxist project is to destroy accountability to the community, by relieving the individual of responsibility, along with relieving them of their freedom.. Remember Schwab’s’ declaration: “you will own nothing…and be happy.”
There is no other reason to explain the massive, monstrous reaction to Dobbs. This isn’t just another modernistic manufactured “right” we’re talking about here, it is something far beyond that.
It will have to be in international waters.
A state’s sovereign boundaries with ocean shorelines extend 3 miles out in most cases and nine miles out in the cases of Texas, Florida’s west coast, and Puerto Rico.
No problem for them. They’ll just home port in Mexico under the good graces of drug cartels. Will work out good for them until there’s a turf war or power struggle. Then they become a target.
