Connecticut Offers Refuge to Red State Women with a "Fugitive Woman Act"
 The situation for girls and women in red states is surprisingly analogous to that of enslaved people escaping their tormentors in the South. "Ordinary, said Aunt Lydia, is what you are used to. This may not seem ordinary to you now, but after a time it will. It will become ordinary." —Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid's Tale If you're the family of a 12-year-old girl in Texas who's been raped and impregnated, or the husband of a 50-year-old Oklahoma woman who's at higher risk of death from pregnancy after a failure of birth control, your only truly safe option right now is to move to Canada. That's because individual states in the US generally enforce each other's court judgements, so even if you tried to move to another state to avoid a $10,000 judgement from one of those states' courts, the state you moved to or were hiding out in would just routinely seize your property to fund the payment. And once the Trump/McConnell Supreme Court gets done with Roe v Wade, it may not just be $10,000 you're worried about: you could spend the rest of your life in prison.Read more at HartmannReport.com. -Thom |
