@spiketalon - posted about rhetoric in some "red states" about wanting to "prohibit interstate travel in pursuit of attaining an abortion

Here is my take on that idea:
Let us know your thoughts on this

Is there really a "move" to prohibit interstate travel for abortion service? Or is it merely rhetoric emanating from people who claim to be absolutely against abortion in any circumstance.
I refer to the the radical "christian mob" - (note lower case "C" in the word christian is intentional). I have no doubt that cultish christian groups like the family of Fred Phelps would be a case in point.

Even if someone who has great Political power and position in any given State wanted to try stopping interstate travel in search for an abortion it would be impossible to enforce. It is an absurdity to think such an action could be enforced to the point of making the question moot.

This whole argument it is extremely difficult - next to impossible to enforce. History tells us that all attempts to regulate morality end in complete failure. A valid comparison would be "prohibition" of alcohol in early 20ths century. Another would be the illicit drug trade. In both cases the "laws" prohibiting those things gave rise to a highly violent and Profitable underground / Black Market trade. It also created negative outcomes of a seriously clogged judicial system and profoundly overcrowded Prison facilities.

Almost certainly prohibition against abortion will do the same. There will be illicit, underground ways for people to get abortion where it is prohibited by State law.

The old saw - "you can't legislate morality" will ring loudly and true in the matter of prohibited abortion. Gradually, over time localities will cease to "enforce" the law. Exactly as has been done regarding the sale, purchase and possession of marijuana localities will cease to pursue enforcement.
It will become tacitly "legal" in the absence of active enforced prohibition.

When that happens my only wish is that the financial burden for abortions will NOT be borne on the shoulders of the taxpayers - in any way, shape or form.
In other words where the words "abortion" and "tax monies" are concerned the two should NEVER be used in the same sentence.

Prohibition of abortion is one thing - Use of Public funds (tax money) is quite another.
I am arguing that "Prohibition" in practical terms should not apply to Abortion itself (because it really cannot be practically nor effectively enforced) but on the use of Public funds for it.

In my mind this removes the burden of moral culpability from the general public and leaves it solely upon the collective conscience of the people who seek out promote and acquire abortion for themselves and others.
