From "Abortion Access Front". I'm not going to dignify them with a link, but here's what one of their social media people wrote this morning:

Quote:

Are Gas Prices The New Abortion Ban??
Gas just hit $4+ a gallon this week and that means accessing abortion care now comes with more surge pricing. For folks living in states with strict abortion bans, abortion access ends up requiring HUNDREDS of miles of travel, and now the price at the pump is doing policy work 'n munching away at abortion access. We hate it here.

What Does This Mean For Healthcare?
Gas prices just became forced-birth core. When people are forced to travel for basic and lifesaving healthcare, they're not just paying for gas. It's hotels, childcare, time off work, ALL OF IT. This is where practical support funds swoop in: community groups covering rides, lodging, food, and gas so people can ACTUALLY get care.

NOW WHAT?
These inflated pumps are the latest op for abobo seekers and mutual aid. When gas prices go up, those funds get drained faster, trips get harder, and access shrinks. But sure, tell us again how gas has nothing to do with reproductive rights. Want to do something about it? Hit the link (REDACTED), find a fund, and make it rain love, support, and coin on them so they can keep doing what they do.

Yeah, that's totally Trump's motivation here.

"How can we keep women from traveling to blue states to get abortions?"
"Let's raise gas prices!"
"How?"
"Just hike the federal gas tax. Say we need the funds to fix some aging bridges."
"No way! The voters won't stand for that!"
"Hmm...then how about we start a war with an oil-rich country that we don't like, and blame them for the higher gas prices?"
"Yeah, sounds reasonable."

Just start an abortion "Learing" center and let the government pay for everything.

Maybe higher costs to get to alcohol will help reduce the need for medical travel. Oh what a tangled web we weave.

The one good thing about abortion is that it helps remove leftists from the gene pool.

It's funny how often they change the rules. Under Biden sky-rocketing gas is no big deal and not his fault but under Trump it is.

I can tell you now, the ones wanting an abortion, are driving Nissan Altima's with paper tags no insurance and have the smell of a dumpster. They are not worried about gas prices, they are worried about meth prices.
Can't decide if I want to be cute & cuddly, or go blow some sh*t up.

Two things.

First, remember after Hobbs when advocates were going to put abortion ships off of the coast?

Second: What a great story for your kids, "I was going to have an abortion but I couldn't afford the gas to drive."

The funny thing is that we're just now at the same prices as under Biden.

And that did not move the needle in my neighborhood in California.

That's why I think we need at least $12 gas before any of the liberal nutjobs are going to pull their heads out.

Didn't Trump get rid of NPR? I remember there being a thread about it yet they still seem to exist.

How?

Depends on what time under Biden. Gas prices have been fluctuating but it's not costing me $65 to fill my tank right now. It depends on where you're living I guess. California is really not comparable to most of the rest of the country in my opinion. Or at least not to Bryan, Texas.

They're going to go up and down all the time for different things. I just find it interesting that the rules change depending on who's in office. And maybe both side are guilty of that. I just see more crazy from the left.

Same thing with the stock market. It's always going to go up and down for various reasons.

How?

Trump got rid of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which provided federal funding for NPR and PBS.

But they still have corporate sponsorships and donations from listeners.

In a few years, the left will try to turn this into The Grapes of Wrath, when poor Oklahoma girls had to drive all the way to Los Angeles just to terminate an unwanted child.

Actually, they've already done an abortion road trip movie.

Well duh... libs believe men can get pregnant too. Gotta have abortion clinics available for all those men that are waiting in line to get abortions.

Come man have a heart. Stop thinking so black and white.

I wonder if a stricter enforcement of "gas, grass, or ass" during market volatility directly correlates to more unplanned pregnancies.

Just get on birth control or stop being promiscuous and take some responsibility for yourselves.

This is not hard.

Teen pregnancy is at the lowest point in several decades at least, so it's not ignorance that is driving unwanted pregnancy...these women should be old enough to understand how this works.

So if killing an unborn child is "lifesaving healthcare" why would they also need childcare (yeah, I realize they also probably have a few other welfare babies)

Taking off work? LOL, their "work" is taking government checks and posting on TikTok

Yet if they don't travel they are saving the most vulnerable life.

Left wants high gas prices to help promote "green" mentality and alternative energy. Left doesn't want high gas prices because it restricts abortion access. Holy moly.

It is truly comical when their never-ending circles of super important causes intersect. It's really only a matter of time with all of them.

So many victims…..so little time. They're all the same too, a few smart and evil people at the top make buttloads of money, and the useful idiots line up and pull the wagon. So absolutely stupid.
I don't think you know me.

Yikes. Unbelievably Orwellian to refer to abortion as "lifesaving healthcare". Disgusting.

These people have no shame.
