Abortions to move underground in half the US: Here's how it might work

Grassroots organizers look to virtual mailboxes and mobile clinics.

Before the Supreme Court released its ruling Friday upending abortion rights in the U.S., Elisa Wells was thinking of virtual mailboxes.

For people who move or travel a lot, a virtual mailbox is a way to check their mail online. If an item is critical, they forward it to their current location.

For Wells, founder of the online abortion site Plan C, which tells women how to find the abortion pill, it’s a potential workaround to state laws restricting access.

Using dried garbanzo beans and old pill bottles, Wells tested whether a virtual mailbox set up in a state like California or New York -- which allow abortion pills to be prescribed through a telehealth appointment -- could make its way to a woman in a state like Texas or Oklahoma that restrict access.

Perhaps the laws aren't strict enough.

This is pretty dumb.
It's 150 bucks for a plane ticket from here to Vegas. Denver is a day away by car. Spokane is four hours. All of those places will remain pro-choice even if Montana doesn't. And the same conditions will exist virtually everywhere. The 'abortion tourism' shtick is what will happen.

...And better yet - All liberals fleeing red states to live in states where they can kill their babies. Not that killing babies is alright, but fleeing liberals is just fine.

Good point and a silver lining to the SCOTUS ruling.
