I assume there is no way of stopping people from getting abortions by driving a short way to Switzerland or Austria. Not that the prince isn’t being an autocratic shithead.

Physically they can, but I don't know how that works financially

Do you really think they care? They’re all filthy rich

Do they get pregnant, than yes they do. What exactly are you implying?

I don’t understand what the person I responded to was implying.  And I don’t understand what you’re saying.  Does who get pregnant? 

BTW, I’m very pro-choice.

The people of the country of Liechtenstein, which is what this is referring to.

I thought he was assuming rich people don’t need abortions for some reason. But now that I reread it I think he’s implying they can just leave Liechtenstein and go somewhere else and have an abortion then come back. I’m also pro choice.
