Following repeated calls by Democrats for pop up abortion centres to be instituted on federal owned land, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre admitted that any such move would likely put women and providers at risk of prosecution.
As we noted yesterday, the likes of Elizabeth Warren and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have called for the Biden administration to immediately implement federal abortion services, with Warren suggesting tents could be erected in national parks.
At the weekend, Jean-Pierre said all options were on the table, however during a briefing Tuesday she appeared to dismiss the notion.
“We understand the proposal is well intentioned, but here’s the thing: It could actually put women and providers at risk,” the press Secretary admitted.
“And importantly, in states where abortion is now illegal, women and providers who are not federal employees — as you look at the federal lands — could be — potentially be prosecuted,” she added, noting there may be “dangerous ramifications to doing this.”
Other Democrats, including Kamala Harris have suggested initiating slush funds to pay for women to travel out of state to get later term abortions where they remain legal.
Additionally, there are restrictions banning federal funds being expended on abortion!
A stupid idea echoed by really stupid people.
Warren misspoke. She meant to say teepees and pole lodges.
Fauxahontas and AOC could set aside space in their campaign offices for constituents and visitors of any of the 57 genders who wanted the procedure with complimentary free range coffee and vegan donuts. Problem solved.
