How to get around the Texas law
Open up abortion clinics on Texas military bases. Fort hood, lackland, etc. use military docs to perform the abortions. That also means no anti abortion protestors since they can be removed.

By law, military facilities cannot be used to provide abortion services except in cases of rape or incest.

1. Good idea, but aren't those clinics only available to military personnel and family? Nt
Yes, but they do not provide abortion services.

2. Biden could change that with a stroke of the pen
No, he cannot. Article 1, Section 8 says congress sets the rules for the military.

4. What is to prevent Texas women from traveling to a blue state for their procedures?
It would be perfectly legal in states like California and New York, after all.

5. That's not a viable option for the poor
Much easier to go to a local military base.
Do you seriously think there's a military facility near every city and town?

10. most military bases are actually
joint jurisdiction between the Feds and state.
In fact, several bases are a hodgepodge quilt of areas that are exclusive Federal or concurrent State/Federal jurisdiction.
The problem is that while the bases might be federal, the "aid and abetting" to get her there still occurs within the state of Texas. So the aiders would be still on the hook as Texas residents.
This is the closest thing to a rational response in the thread. Some years ago I was sent to San Diego to learn to use a database that calculated utility costs for the state and the feds.
For example, the National Guard facility could be 100% federal land and built with a fed-state cost sharing agreement of 75-25 respectively. But the feds keep an office in 10% of the structure 100% of the time while the state only occupies the remaining 90% for 7% of the time.
Yeah, I know.
At least I got to see the USS Kitty Hawk while I was there.
And lots of homeless people.
