        Good luck to you both, stay safe and maybe get a vasectomy? Sure sucks less than a fat oinker bothering your girlfriend on a necessary medical trip.

        E: lots of downvotes. Troubled about the vasectomy suggestion, or that I mistakenly thought the dude’s gf had to travel for an abortion? 😂

            What’s confusing you? The wishing you both good luck part or the… Try to avoid needing to travel for an abortion part?

              I think she was on a road trip bruh. Like just a normal, every day road trip. She didn’t want to give Texas any of her $$$ in gas, taxes, hotel, or food. If I didn’t live here, I wouldn’t either, and I openly applaud her for her dedication.

              Not every single road trip across the US needs to be specifically for medical care. In fact, I’d argue that no one should have to take a road trip for medical care. Don’t make assumptions.

                Oh, dang. It being an article about someone leaving the state to get an abortion, I thought that’s what this person was saying their girlfriend also had to sort of do, avoiding Texas in the process.

                But it could also just be a road trip. 😅

                  Yeah, I saw the connection you made, and then the confusion from the original poster, and I was like “Oop. Some conclusions were jumped to here!”

                  It wasn’t an illogical leap at all, but Texas-New Mexico border towns are already trying to claim that their towns are “Fetal Sanctuary Towns”. They want to prosecute women for driving on their roads to seek abortive care in New Mexico. So the last thing we need is people like that assuming that every woman driving anywhere is doing so just for an abortion.

                  Ugh. This state blows.
