And so it begins. The consequences of making abortions hard to obtain...

Barbarians, the lot of them. 
First, they take our right to safe abortions away. Then, they try to take our right to access contraception away as well. Is their ultimate goal to herd all females into gated compounds to ensure they produce offspring until old age makes it impossible? Eventually, the government will have a revolution on their hands. And I will not feel sorry for those anti-choice politicians. :bedmadelie

There are still ways to order most anything over the internet, but getting busted or scammed is a very high probability.
I was looking into how to order things without a prescription, all I wanted was a ready access to muscle relaxers, once I saw how bad they had already cracked down on pain killers. It's nearly as difficult to get meds that aren't scheduled!
Luckily I found a still legal plant I can order online that does a perfectly good job on my problems. Unfortunately, states are beginning to ban it one by one, so I am concerned about its future.
All of my packages, even completely innocuous clothing packages, arrive with an identical hole punched in the box, if they haven't been obviously opened and resealed. Makes me wonder who's snooping on me. Somebody's looking out for my "best interests". Or maybe I'm just paranoid and all my packages are picked up at some point by a defective robot whose hands/claws puncture everything, lol.

This is terrifying. Our "gate keepers" would rather find and prosecute someone taking care of their own health than probably a hundred real terrorists. Wouldn't it have been nice if they idiots who bombed the Boston Marathon had been snooped on rather than you or the mother trying to take care of her daughter's health and future?
I think the tide is going to turn as soon as women start dying again, too. Kind of like the ex-anti-vaxxers who didn't realize exactly how bad things like measles really are.
Personally, I think we're poised for a pro-choice resurgance. I drive by one of the few remaining Planned Parenthood locations in my state that still performs abortions on my way to work, and were I to judge solely by the protestors, I would have learned that:
1. Abortion is only REALLY wrong on weekends, as that's apparently when it's worth protesting (I work weekends every so often).
2. Protesting is a great time to catch up with your friends, either in person or on the phone.
3. The traffic light control box regrets its abortion terribly (in fairness, one woman did carry a similar sign once - but only once. The box has been regretful much more often).
4. Parking illegally is WRONG. Also profitable, if you're the police.
4. If you wander around with a rosary and/or a Bible near PP, you're making a clear statement.
5. Every group has a zealot (I call ours the Preacher Man)
Given that there are a grand total of 3 PPs that still perform abortions in the state (plus a few private clinics) and this is the best protest the local Catholics can muster, I think (and hope and pray) that they're in the minority.
Also, seamstress - I didn't know that many PP's don't perform abortions on-site until reading this thread, so you at least have some company, such as I am
