This is a post on how to economically and culturally starve states that have abortion restrictions.
1. Refuse to travel or give any tourism to states with abortion bans or restrictions.
2. Refuse to buy from businesses in those states, specifically ones that have not publicly condemned the abortion ban and shown support for women.
3. Do not seek employment/educational opportunities in those states, and publicly say your views. Create a stigma around it.
4. Refuse to date men, especially those who support the ban.
5. If you are a woman living in one of these states and dating, be VERY selective with the men you sleep with, and if you receive any pushback, mention the abortion ban. Publicly say how you are completely turned off sleeping with men because of the restrictions. Alternatively, have the man set aside funds in case you need to travel for an abortion prior to any sexual contact.
6. Donate / volunteer with organizations fighting these bans
7. If you are a woman in another state, be proactive in networking, interviewing, and hiring women in a state with bans. If we move the woman out of these states, men will be forced to change.
I think the only way to get at least some of these states to flip their bans is to make their wallets hurt, get the woman to leave, and stigmatize what they're doing in the collective consciousness.
Here is a list of states that have abortion bans or restrictions as of 12/16/2023:
Alabama, Arkansas, Idaho, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, West Virginia, Georgia, South Carolina, Nebraska, North Carolina, Arizona, Florida, Utah.
In Iowa, Montana, and Wyoming, a ban was proposed but blocked, leaving the situation in flux.

We need to be marching one a week until shit gets restored. They want our lives.
I hope women start flocking out of these shit holes and these states actually start having low birth rates and panic.
If you have a twitter account with a lot of followers or know a radfem that does, can you please have this published there ?
