A lot of powers provide ongoing benefits so you don’t actually need to purchase extra SPD.  This is particularly common for defensive powers that you can abort to.  Deflection is based on blocking which you can continue to do after the first try even in phases you do not go on.  When you continue blocking you take a -2 penalty for each additional attack after the first.  A better way to do this would be to simply buy a bonus to the deflection and not worry about SPD at all.
 
If you want to abort to different defensive actions after already having aborted a phase that is essentially being able to act in more phases in which case you should buy up your SPD.  The only other possible reason for this would be to somehow be able to abort to an action after you have already gone in a phase, this should not be allowed.  If you want to be able to do a specific action buy that with the advantage trigger with an automatic reset.  The ability to automatically be able to perform any defensive action without losing any of your normal phases is not balanced and should not be allowed.  
 
To me this whole concept is kind of a red flag.  How would you describe this without using game terms?  For me anytime a player wants a power that they cannot describe without using game terms that is often a red flag.  If it is something obvious like wanting to be able to defend against the body of killing damage that is one thing, but other than those types of things I want my players to be able to describe what they are doing without using game terms.  Using game terms to define the game mechanics is fine, but they should be able to define the power without doing so.

I would urge Americans to spread this story to as many of your fellow citizens as you can. The degree to which a Supreme Court Justice has been bought and paid for needs to be common knowledge, or this may never change.
