An organization of pilots is collecting volunteers to fly women from states with pro-life laws to obtain abortions in nearby pro-abortion states, a move that amounts to a fresh attempt by abortion activists to flout legal protections for preborn babies <\/span>enacted in many states<\/span><\/a> since the overturning of <\/span>Roe v. Wade.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Founded by an anonymous pilot, who goes by the pseudonym \u201cMike Bonanza,\u201d Elevated Access is based out of southern Illinois \u2013 a state with a constitutional protection for abortion up to birth if the health of the mother is threatened, despite the fact that the <\/span>intentional taking of a life<\/span><\/a> caused by induced abortion is <\/span>never medically necessary<\/span><\/a>. Bonanza\u2019s organization partners with both local abortionists and abortion giants like Planned Parenthood to find women who live in states with pro-life protections who are seeking abortions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Once these women are identified, Elevated Access will connect with a volunteer pilot to fly these women to procure an abortion in a nearby pro-abortion state. Bonanza markets his private flights as providing anonymity to women. \u201cThere\u2019s no TSA security,\u201d he said in an interview with <\/span>Rolling Stone<\/span><\/a>. \u201cNobody\u2019s asking you who you are, why you\u2019re there at the airport. It\u2019s as private as you can get, about as safe as you can get without having to sit down on an airplane with a whole bunch of people.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While pilots volunteering their time for a cause is nothing new \u2013 <\/span>Angel Flights<\/span><\/a>\u00a0flies people with medical needs when airlines cannot accomodate them \u2013 there\u2019s no getting around the extreme pro-abortion nature of the group\u2019s mission. Each pilot must submit a statement explicitly supporting abortion or transgender medical care. \u201cThe easiest part is checking their pilot credentials,\u201d Bonanza said in an interview with <\/span>Flying Magazine<\/span><\/a>. \u201cThe other part is having them send in statements of support for abortion and gender and affirming care, as well as talking to two references from them about their support for those things.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
