Leonard Pitts Jr.: ‘Massive resistance’ goes both ways

It’s not just a 10-year-old girl fleeing across state lines for an abortion like some perverse new version of the Underground Railroad. It’s the fact that some legislators are pondering laws to criminalize such flights — to restrict women’s right to travel.
