Abortion Trafficking

Exports and Imports of “Products of Conception”

With Roe v. Wade thrown into the garbage, many businesses are starting to add travel for abortion as part of their employee benefits. Many more are researching the topic. (https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/restoring-america/equality-not-elitism/a-complete-list-of-the-us-companies-sponsoring-abortion-tourism)

However, the problem with so-called pro-choice advocates is in their theory of freedom. In practice, the abortion industry has always put abortion first and prevention last. Women have been, and still are treated, as fragile beings, are kept ignorant, and sold abortion as a sacrament. This is what Feminists for Life have been criticizing for a long time (https://www.feministsforlife.org).

Many pregnancies which are aborted came about because no contraception was used at all. In addition, there are numerous repeat abortions. How difficult is it for pro-choice people to make shirts and bumpers stickers saying: “wear it or the answer is no”? Apparently, some men are taking the issue seriously by obtaining vasectomies (https://www.theblaze.com/shows/stu-does-america/roe-reversal-young-men-vasectomies)

As for these companies, they really have no idea what they are getting into. States vary in their laws and can adopt residency restrictions as can abortion providers (https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2022/jul/1/proof-residency-be-required-abortion-pills-montana/).

At the same time, do these companies realize they could be facilitating second and third-trimester abortions? Do they even know what the differences are? (https://www.nrlc.org/abortion/medicalfacts/techniques/) Yet, at the same time, the demand for abortion had trended downwards as the population has increased (http://www.nrlc.org/uploads/factsheets/FS01AbortionintheUS.pdf). Do they really want to reverse such a trend? Do they really want to engage in the export and import of problematic “products of conception”? Are they aware abortion hurts women? (https://nebraskafamilyalliance.org/policy/life/abortion-harms-women/) Instead, companies should look for betters ways to help women. Feminists for Life create a site called WomenDeserveBetter.com. This is a resource for women. There are others as well (https://standupgirl.com/). (More at https://www.nrlc.org/help/)

Right now, there is much misinformation about abortion in Nebraska. There are only two abortion clinics in Nebraska and they could easily move to Iowa without much disruption. What are companies going to do? Offer a gas card?

However, left-wing activists are making illegitimate claims about what banning abortion in Nebraska will do. They even claim in-vitro fertilization would be banned (https://nebraskaexaminer.com/2022/07/02/physicians-fear-in-vitro-fertilization-other-care-in-jeopardy-if-abortion-banned/) The Nebraska Family Alliance is quick to show this is not the case (https://nebraskafamilyalliance.org/do-abortion-bans-also-ban-ivf-or-treatment-for-miscarriages-and-ectopic-pregnancies-no-heres-why)

As for Roe V. Wade, Justice Blackmun wrote it and it has been broadly criticized for decades by Constitutional scholars from the right, center, and left (https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/in-criticizing-roe-sessions-aligns-with-most-legal-scholars): including deceased Justice Ginsburg  (https://www.law.nyu.edu/sites/default/files/ECM_PRO_059254.pdf and https://scholarship.law.unc.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=2961&context=nclr). The left is taking issue with Justice Thomas regarding his mention of the 14th Amendment but deceased Justice William Rehnquist made similar claims in his dissenting opinion in the Roe v Wade case (https://i2i.org/wp-content/uploads/Roe-v.-Wade.pdf). I suspect some future Supreme Court will select the Fourth Amendment (against warrantless seizures) as a reason to prevent a blanket ban on abortion but the idea of abortion as a right is gone.
