A California doctor plans to offer abortion services to women in Southern states such as Alabama, via a boat that operates as a floating clinic in federal waters off the Gulf Coast, according to news reports.

Dr. Meg Autry, an OB-GYN in San Francisco, aims to raise about $20 million for the project known as PRROWESS, or Protecting Reproductive Rights of Women Endangered by State Statutes.

Autry, who’s also a professor at the University of California, San Francisco, said the floating clinic will provide surgical abortions up to 14 weeks, contraception, on-site testing for sexually transmitted infections and more.

The clinic, floating in federal waters in the Gulf of Mexico, would not be subject to abortion restrictions in nearby states, according to the FAQs on the PRROWESS website.

I am sure the US Coast Guard will have something to say about it. That would just be the first response.

That's over doing it. You mean to tell me motherfrickers can't travel to California or somewhere where it is legal? They have to go by boat?

Necessity would imply a market need. This will be another liberal fundraising vacuum that’ll make this doctor and a handful of close associates mega wealthy off of a handful of late term abortions every year.

Will this ship make a few extra bucks selling “bait” to local charter captains?

Hence the quote about a fool and his money.
