JK. The map above shows just how far women in the South who are more than six weeks pregnant will now have to travel to receive an abortion. Women in Miami who are beyond six weeks will now need to travel more than 700 miles to reach the nearest clinics — in Charlotte, N.C., where state law requires two visits spread over three days, according to the New York Times.

The writes: “The six-week ban, which was quietly signed into law last year by Gov. Ron DeSantis, went into force on Wednesday, formally adding Florida to the list of states that have strictly curtailed abortion access since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade nearly two years ago.”

“But the abortion debate isn’t open and shut in Florida. Voters will have a choice in November: keep the new ban in effect or approve a proposed constitutional amendment that would guarantee abortion access before ‘fetal viability’ — generally understood to be around 24 weeks of pregnancy — or if deemed medically necessary by a patient’s doctor.”

Tragedy struck this week as sixty-five year old Elian Gomez passed away in his 1950 Chevy Bel Air on the 826, otherwise known as The Palmetto Expressway, a mere two miles away from the exact spot where he was both conceived and born.

Elian’s parents started driving home in 1952 when they became stuck in traffic. After several hours of gridlock, the two conceived Elian in the back seat of the car Elian would later die in. Nine months later, and several feet further on the 826, Elian was born.

Elian would tell friends stories about his difficult childhood home schooled in the back of his parents’ car, dreaming of the storied house his mother said was waiting for them once traffic cleared up a bit. Elian’s parents would not see that house again, as both perished when Elian was in his thirties and still about 6 miles away from their final destination, leaving him the responsibility of driver.

Those close to him recall a kind, but frustrated man who wished to see the world outside of the constant honking and slow inching forward. He leaves behind nothing except his Bel Air, which has been impounded for blocking traffic.

“Despite traffic gridlock, the Miami Beach City Commission voted today to oppose an Metromover extension to South Beach,” writes the ’s :

“The Miami Beach City Commission is unanimous in opposing a Miami-Dade County plan to extend the Metromover to South Beach, voting Wednesday to object to what could become the first mass transit option connecting Miami Beach to the mainland.

All six city commissioners and Mayor Steven Meiner cosponsored a resolution opposing the ‘Baylink’ plan and approved it without discussion.”
