In the !930’s Divorce Ranches Flourished in Reno: Will Abortion Ranches Become a Reality in 2024?


Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart 

In the 1930’s, Reno, Nevada, became the divorce capital of the world. Antiquated and unrealistic divorce laws in other states drove thousands of women to seek a six-month residency in Reno to establish residence and receive a fair and equitable separation of marriage. 

Red states, in support of the unconstitutional Christian Religious Right, are passing anti-abortion laws. Will thousands of women wo are denied the right to make decisions about their own mental and physical health seek a similar situation away from their homes? 

WILL CALIFORNIA BE THE FIRST TO ESTABLISH ABORTION RANCHES? 

California Governor, Gavin Newsom is planning to allow doctors who practice in Oregon to perform abortions in California. Unlike our right-wing extremist Supreme Court, some politicians who support women and their Constitutional rights, will protect them from the dangers of fascism. 

PROGRESSION or REGRESSION? 

Between 2017 and 2021, Putin’s puppet destroyed hundreds of advances made by his predecessors. He was a regressive, not a progressive, and intentionally moved our nation backwards into the mid-twentieth century. Not even George W. Bush divided our nation to the level of DJT. “Big Adolf” brags about the fact that he appointed the justices who overturned a 49-year-old decision which protected a woman’s right to decide the fate of her own mental and physical health. Trump will forever be responsible for two of the darkest days in our nation’s history. 

First will always be January 6, 2021, when a sitting president attempted to overthrow our government. June 24, 2022, is the day Roe v Wade was overturned by a biased and politicized Supreme Court. 

A SELF-ADMITTED SEXUAL PREDATOR 

Just weeks before the 2016 election, Trump admitted on tape that he was a sexual predator. Of course, the “party of family values” considered this a badge of honor.  

His three wives privately admitted that he was a selfish man who placed his personal needs above his wives.  

After he was divorced from his first wife, Ivana, he became a close friend of Jeffrey Epstein. I’ll let you assume what that included. When his third wife bore him a son, just a few months later he paid for sex with an adult film star, Stormy Daniels, and then demanded anon-disclosure agreement,” for which he paid Ms. Daniels $130,000. He is on trial for a felony as I write this.  

This is the man strongly supported by Evangelical leaders today. And some people believe that Christianity is a valid religion. Amazing. 

AND TRUMP OPPOSES ABORTION! 

All these allegations are now proven by the facts, and yet Trump brags about his personal war against women.  

The only people I hate more than liars are hypocrites. Trump is both, and his party supports him.  

WHAT AN ORIGINAL BABY BOOMER THINKS of AMERICA TODAY 

I no longer trust my government, law enforcement, or anyone with power over me. It required more than 70 years for me to wake up and see the truth.  

The government of the United States is the most corrupt in the world. I no longer believe anything they say. From the murder of John Fitzgerald Kennedy, to its refusal to place Trump in jail to await trial for treason, they lie to us to protect each other. 

Our leaders are not incompetent: that’s a pretense. They are corrupt and will say or do anything to retain power and lives of privilege.  

I am a 77-year-old man who has experienced all of our nation’s good and bad after the end of WWII. There is a lot more bad than good.  

In my lifetime I have witnessed the evil of what it means to be a professional politician. In my lifetime I have witnessed two illegitimate elections which could have been stopped if our government cared about our country. 

In 2000 a right-wing biased Supreme Court gave the election to Republican George W. Bush. In 2016, our cowardly representatives in Washington refused to inform voters that a foreign leader, Vladimir Putin, was interfering in our election in support of Republican Donald Trump. The rest is a huge part of our dark history. 

ATTACKING WOMEN WILL END TODAY’S FAKE REPUBLICANS 

In 2024, women outnumber men. In 2024, more women are registered to vote than men. In 2024, more women are enrolled in our colleges and universities than men.  

You tell me what that means for America’s future.
