A Marketer’s Plan to Guarantee
Every Women's Right to Choose
Dear Direct Marketing Colleague,
As if all of us didn’t have enough ugly news to deal with, Texas just iced the mudpie.
This cranky blog was launched in April 2018 in hopes of helping to correlate old-fashioned direct marketing knowhow into the very different new world of digital communications.
Sixteen weeks later—-in April 2018—the specter was raised of women being forced revert to the barbaric practice of using wire coat hangers and knitting needles as the final options to their right to choose.
I was as appalled then as I am now.
During my 60-year career in marketing, the continual challenge was (and is) coming up with practical solutions to solve knotty problems. I scribbled off a letter to my great friend and colleague Roger Craver, the country’s best-known liberal fund raiser.
The situation was not as dire three years ago as it is today. Roger suggested I was ahead of my time.
You are invited to judge my early blog post in light of this week’s development… and add your thoughts in the Comment Section.
Or… email me direct with your thinking and, if you care to, give me permission to run your words in the Comment Section. Dennyhatch@yahoo.com.
Thank you.

How to Forever Guarantee All Women's Right to Choose: AWRTC!
Several years ago we discussed the potential threat to Roe v. Wade and what to do were it repealed.
• Back then Obama was POTUS.
• SCOTUS was reasonable.
• God was in Her heaven.
Alas, with the Kennedy resignation plus the wackadoodle Trump Cultist Congress, the situation is suddenly dicey to dire.
If the idea described below flies, no matter what SCOTUS, POTUS, lower courts, Congress or the states decide about Roe v. Wade, safe abortions will be forever available—free—to all women of child-bearing age in America.
Many states have turned to both ballot measures and legislation to enact abortion policy in the event of a dramatic Supreme Court decision.
The key sentence:
If you live in California, Oregon, Washington, New York State or Massachusetts, it’s pretty likely that abortion will remain legal like it was in New York and Washington before Roe.
Elsewhere—especially for desperate rural poor and minority women—it’s back to the 19th century—wire coat hangers, medical quacks, fatal infections, fetal agony, infanticide and suicides.
Step 1
• Give me 15 minutes with Warren Buffet to propose a new profit center for his NetJets.
• Followed by one-on-one meetings with other rich-rich FORBES 400s—Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, George Soros, Larry Page, Larry Ellison, etc.
• Set up a 501c3 corporation.
• Fund agreeable hospitals in those states permitting abortions to expand into major women’s health centers to handle the influx of women.
• Make available free condoms, free birth control pills, free morning-after pills.
• Set up a national communications and transportation network to enable women in need to come and go to and from these facilities on short notice—via motor coach, puddle-jumper aircraft and—for long distances—Buffet’s NetJets.
• Time targets: 18 hours max round-trip point-to-point (e.g., Indiana - New York is 737 miles. NetJets).
• Extended time for difficult cases.
Step 2
• When Democrats reclaim a federal majority, sponsor a bill whereby U.S. Passport requirements are waived in the case of 18-hour excursions in and out of the country. Call them “Temporary Health Exit-Return Visas” (THERV’s).
• Locate hospitals/clinics in Canada & Mexico on the U.S. borders. Perhaps 4 on each border. Start with communities very close to the U.S. border with existing hospitals or clinics to be upgraded (including good housing for the workers). Plus, of course, near-by world-class airports. (See below for two possible venues.)
Negotiate with Canada and Mexico. This should be an attractive proposition to these two governments, as the major expansion of several health facilities will improve the lifestyle of the local communities and account for an influx of new jobs.
• Supply each agreed-upon venue a big infusion of cash to expand into world-class women’s health facilities.
• Set up a nationwide communications and transportation system for pregnant women of any age in America to access these facilities for safe, 18-hour travel and termination procedures—Free.
• Employ Buffet’s NetJets for long distance travel; use motor vehicles, helicopters and piston puddle-jumpers for shorter distances.

Alas, Denny, faster than you can get all this done, SCOTUS and other forces that hate giving women control over their own bodies would find ways to defeat it. Abortion clinics in Canada? The news this morning was about the Trump government's refusing to allow a Canadian citizen entry into the United States because he had invested — invested! — in a corporation that raises marijuana in a state where doing so is legal.
ReplyDeleteThe only way to get rid of horrid anti-abortion (and soon to come, anti-birth control) laws is to get the bastards behind them out of power and, in some cases, into prison where they belong.
