Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “The ReidOut” that President Joe Biden should consider putting abortion clinics on federal property in states that ban abortion.
Warren said, “The idea that five extremists on the United States Supreme Court want to take us back to that world, want to treat women as second class citizens., I see this as a moment it has got to be all hands on deck, a whole of government response. I get it Congress could act, but we just don’t have the votes right now. So we need the president of the United States to act.”

The Supreme Court is expected to put the question of abortion back to the states. It’s 1860 all over again with the federal government stomping all over states’ rights.

Nope, that may be how they are charged, but at least on military installations, except on a few that are exclusive federal jurisdiction, both federal and state criminal law apply. Usually the states let the feds have first crack, but it’s not necessarily so. And if the feds don’t prosecute, the state can.
Federal officials, in the scope of their employment, are immune to state prosecution, but that has nothing to do with whether they are on federal property or not.
There is no short answer to this question. It all depends.
There should never BE any ‘Federal Property’ in an state.
Go to the Post Office, mail a letter, get an abortion.
That’s what they want.
What nasty, childish, vindictive people the leftists are.
How can you just let anybody onto a military base to visit abortion clinics this would be a disaster waiting to happen!!!
Federal government would probably be less inclined to support Warren's evil idea if the 17th Amendment had never been ratified imo. After all, probably fewer people like Warren in power.
Insights welcome.
Speaking of “hostiles,” Fauxcahontas, shouldn’t you be on a res?
The left is a death cult.
They are obsessed with sodomy, contraception, killing babies, raping children, genital mutilation, killing old folks ... it’s all death, all the time for them.
you spelled 19th wrong ...
Yo, ho..
if you dont want abortion to be outlawed ... PASS A FEDERAL LAW!!!
stop getting the courts to mandate what you can’t legislate!
She’s really a shrill, insane harpy.
I believe postal service drivers, at least when it was a full part of federal govt, were not required to have state drivers’ licenses even when driving on state roads and streets.
When I was a pup, Post Office Department vehicles had right of way over every one in every circumstance. Don’t know if the Postal Service enjoys that privilege.

That is debatable, however, the clinics still need state approval for the construction, electrical and water hook-ups. They are still, (possibly), covered under the state public health regulations and, definitely, state licensing for doctors/nurses.
Unless they are under a federal government contract to operate on federal property the courts would not find a private entity to be immune from state law.
And Federal buildings are exempt from state/local building codes. Feds use their own rules for fire escape doors, etc..
Go ahead try it. Those states might be pushed along toward secession and throwing the Feds out…which is the only way the unmitigated disaster that the American nation has become can be resolved without great death and destruction.
