No matter how loud the abortion banning public and politicians are, they're in the minority on this point. Put it to a direct vote and I'm sure keeping it available would pass in all 50 states. There are people who would support it in a direct vote but will not vote for a Democrat to make it happen.
Today’s Republican Party has fallen under the sway of MAGA Republicans who advocate Christian nationalism despite its general unpopularity; on April 3, Hungarian president Viktor Orbán, who has destroyed true democracy in favor of “Christian democracy” in his own country, cheered Trump on and told him to “keep on fighting.” Like Orbán, today's Republicans reject the principles that underpin democracy, including the ideas of equality before the law and separation of church and state, and instead want to impose Christian rule on the American majority.
Would someone here who knows more about the law than I do please tell me if these laws banning women from traveling to other states to get abortions is even constitutional?
“… restrict women from traveling outside the state to get an abortion”
Cool. Armed guards at the state border, checking menstrual cycles and forcing women to pee on test strips?
Sounds like freedom to me.
Gov. Brad Little (R) signed an abortion 'trafficking' law, which would restrict women from traveling outside the state to get an abortion.
???!!!
No matter where you come down on abortion this is nuts. R's will end up self-distructing over the next 4 years.
Enjoy your family this weekend Jamie.
