"Efforts"?

The question was whether the service was unavailable, not whether it
was unpopular.

BTW there are hospitals in DC that don't do "abortions". (although you
can get a procedure that terminates a pregnancy)

The "efforts" to shut down womens' health clinics is pretty successful.
Don't you see the news?

As for DC, there literally are dozens of good hospitals in our metro
area. That some religiously sponsored hospitals, Catholic hospitals, for
example, might not perform an abortion doesn't mean you have to drive
far to find a hospital that will perform one. It's not like being in
Kansas or some other backwards state.

Nobody makes people live there. You don't need an exit visa to move
away from Texas.
You say you don't even want to drive through some states and I bet
they don't care.

Our states have far from uniform laws and customs. They are decided by
the people who live there and if you don't, they don't care what you
think.
There are plenty on northeastern laws that are just as objectionable
to Texans. Houston has no "zoning". The people who live there are
happy with that. If they aren't MOVE.
You can go to Chicago or New York where the nanny state will regulate
every facet of your life from the gun you can own, the "required"
conduit in your wall or the soft drinks you can't buy.

Wow. Worst response ever. Many people live where they live because they
don't have the ability to move somewhere else. The Supreme Court has
ruled that abortion is legal. What the backwards states have done is
game the system to shove the religious beliefs of their legislators and
governors onto the people.

Tell me again why they can't move.
Also...
The citizens elected those legislators, not you.
You have no right to say what their laws are.
O'Malley would not get more than single digits in Texas and Texans
have no right to complain about the laws of Maryland. They don't like
it, they can do what I did, MOVE.

My move was far from painless but I did it because I had no interest
in living there.

Some people don't have the financial resources to move.

Poor people without resources don't exist in Greg's world, apparently.

Also, abortions are *legal* in the United States. What these several
states are doing is skirting the federal law that allows abortion.
