In 2022, we had planned on a long road trip to visit relatives in NC. Then the #Dobbs decision convinced us not to travel through anti-choice states. So we spent $4,239.09 in NM and AZ instead, and we had the time of our lives.
Very glad we saw the #GrandCanyon, #MeteorCrater, #Winslow, the #LowellObservatory, the #PetrifiedForest and many other sites while AZ was still a pro-choice state. I'd never go there now, because I get great satisfaction when I #VoteWithMyWallet. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/arizona-supreme-court-ruling-abortion-ban-rcna146915
