Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) suggested on Monday that the federal
government could sidestep any state laws regulating abortions by
allowing Planned Parenthood outposts to set up on the outskirts of
national parks.
Warren reportedly made the comments to The Washington Posts abortion
reporter Caroline Kitchener, calling on President Joe Bidens
administration to step up in the wake of the Supreme Courts 6-3 ruling
in Dobbs v. Jackson Womens Health Organization which resulted in a
5-4 decision overturning landmark abortion cases Roe v. Wade and
Planned Parenthood v. Casey.
I just spoke with @ewarren, who suggested the Biden administration
establish Planned Parenthood outposts on the edges of national parks,
Kitchener tweeted. They could put up tents, have trained personnel
and be there to help people who need it. Its time to declare a medical
emergency.'
Warren has been outspoken on the issue since long before the Courts
ruling came down last Friday, attending protests in the days after the
early opinion draft which aligned closely with the final decision
was leaked.
I am angry because of who will pay the price for this! It will not be
wealthy women. Wealthy women can get on an airplane. They can fly to
another state. They can fly to another country. They can get the
protection they need, Warren said at one such protest, her voice
breaking. This will fall on the poorest women. This will fall on the
young women who have been abused, who are victims of incest. This will
fall on those who have been raped. This will fall on mothers who are
already struggling to work three jobs to be able to support the
children they have.
And the Massachusetts liberal is far from the only member of Congress
who is proposing workarounds for people who are trying to skirt new
laws restricting abortion in the wake of the Supreme Courts ruling.
Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has also shared tips and
directions for young women who are trying to obtain abortions in states
where they are either restricted or no longer legal.
It is possible that states who criminalize people who get abortions
may begin to take advantage of digital surveillance to track people,
the Congresswoman shared, advising women in impacted states to delete
any apps that could track their menstrual cycles.
