THE controversy around the US Supreme Court's recent Roe vs Wade decision has prompted lots of outrage, but some have come up with some more practical options including a proposed "floating abortion clinic" in the Gulf of Mexico.
The initiative would provide a facility for women in southern states which have outlawed the procedure, located in Federal waters and offering first trimester surgical abortions.
The idea is still only in early stages, with fundraising through a non-profit organisation dubbed PRROWESS which stands for "Protecting Reproductive Rights of Women Endangered by State Statutes".
AND perhaps on a similar topic, a pregnant woman who received a fine for driving alone in a US transit lane unsuccessfully opposed the penalty, after claiming her unborn baby counted as a second person in the vehicle.
The lady from Dallas, Texas, argued with police officers who pulled her over at a checkpoint in a HOV (High Occupancy Vehicle) lane on a local freeway.
Asking her if she was alone, "I pointed to my stomach and said 'my baby girl is right here...she is a person," the woman said, but the policeman responded by saying "oh no, it's got to be two people outside of the body".
