Well, that cuts me out.
Me too. I actually have no problem with them existing per se. Adults have a right to have transgender surgery (aka mutilate themselves; it should be illegal for children) so if an adult needs a ride, fine. I still wouldn’t pilot them though because I personally believe trans surgeries are not the panacea they pretend to be, are wrought with complications and just an overall terrible idea, so I could never enable them.
As for abortion I could never enable that either (rare exception of a severely deformed fetus). I am not going to fly someone so they can have their healthy baby killed. Hell no, no way. But abortion is a state issue, and as such I have a problem with a state outlawing travel to another state to have a procedure which is legal in that other state. That seems unconstitutional to me. So the rise of a service like this is inevitable in that context so these women can anonymously travel. I might not be happy with these pilots, nor respect them, but I would be opposed to outlawing what they’re doing. We have freedom of travel between states and the right not to have government tracking our whereabouts and what we’re up to.
I do kinda have a problem with them being a non-profit and writing it off as charity like regular Angel Flight. Abortions and trans surgeries are NOT necessary medical treatment, and should not be supported in any way by taxpayers, which they are if you’re giving them a tax write off.
This is nothing like flying cancer patients around like my husband did. The implication of a comparison is kind of offensive.
