wow. Pair that with an advertising campaign like in the UK, and we could start really making a dent in the huge problem of lack of access. (Of course, I know how unlikely the latter is, but maybe!)

Of course the Repubs & other anti-Choice types put women’s reproductive health rights right up there [down there] with the rights of animals in general: we women are supposed to produce babies just like the dreadfully-treated animals do in factory “farming.” TIME FOR MORE POSITIVE CHANGES FOR HUMAN WOMEN AND CRITTERS IN GENERAL AS WELL.

This is wonderful news! I 100% agree with everything on your list, mischiefmanager. Access, privacy, and safety! Who’d have thunk it? This really is an incredibly positive and exciting step. Although I share your concern, baraqiel.

This makes my day! I am so happy about women not having to go through all of the travel, lack of privacy, etc that actually travelling to a far-away clinic would entail.

I was also LOL at the “OMG AM TOTES PG! HALP”

I love this! I’m so happy about this.

P.S. This made me literally laugh out loud: “It’s not like women are texting a doctor somewhere “OMG AM TOTES PG! HALP,” and being FedEx’d a syringe full of hydrochloric acid.”

Oh, this is sweet. Here’s why:

-women in remote, especially rural, areas can get access to abortion

-the antis have no physical site to picket, so patients are safer and less traumatized

-providers are safer

-everyone has the privacy they need and deserve (and are entitled to under federal law)

-it’s out of the antis’ control! which is what makes Newman and his fellow bullies so enraged

This.Makes.My.Day.

Baraqiel – I was thinking the same thing. My only hope is the immense popularity of using similar methods to obtain Viagra will keep remote prescription legal. Don’t underestimate the political power of a flaccid dick.

Imagine that – trying to make health care accessible to rural women! Way to go Jill June and PPH docs.
