A little off topic, but still relevant to today's LFAA; as a (then) young protestor against the Viet Nam war, especially on behalf of the young draftees who had no say over their lives, I recall many of us women willing to do civil disobedience to get arrested and draw attention to the deaths and injuries of our young men. To say nothing of the dreadful harm caused to innocent Vietnamese by napalm et al.

What if something similar were done vis-a-vis the mifepristone debacle in Texas? What if women by the hundreds acknowledge use of or helping others obtain the medication? What if arrests ensued which filled local jails awaiting trial? I think it would have the same results as long ago. The draft ended and so did the war.

Not only in Texas, but in floriduh, our FIRST amendment is under assault, nevermind the 2nd. I simply do not understand the apathy.

This would be the problem in Texas - A San Antonio man is suing his ex wife and her friends for "allegedly helping her find the abortion drugs". A million dollar suit........... Who has legal fees to fight that?
