Which, sebby, suggests that your faith in being able to fly away from local abortion laws may be misplaced.
Let them catch me. Like I said when Clinton lied under oath, you get a pass where the law is unjust/unjustly applied. And yes, I decide when the law becomes unjust for me on private issues. The price for such behavior is the risk of arrest. So be it. I never bought the "the law is the law and its your duty to obey it or change it" argument. The law on personal issues like drugs and abortion is what I feel like it ought to be, and when I get caught, hey... caveat amptor.
