They were wrong….
The Suprme Court over turning woman’s Abortion as a nationwide ‘Right’ has just shiftted the playing field….
Woman ARE still getting the procedures across the country, even in anti-abortion state’s…
Now the ant-abortion people want to go after the medicated means to end a pregnancy ….
Some wanting to put the mothers in jail….
The above is NOT popular with a lot of Republican lawmakers, well aware that the majority of women and men were NOT happy with the courts decision to throw abortion policy to the states….
In fact several Repubilcans blame the court’s action for their loses last month…
The fact is?
Abortion isn’t going away in those states that have banned them….
The fight will go on….
But women WILL still have control over their bodies….
THAT will NOT change in America and those trying to fight this will suffer politically it would appear….
‘Where there is a will…There is a way’
Many Republican lawmakers have been reluctant to further restrict abortion since the June ruling, especially after this year’s midterm elections confirmed that abortion rights are popular with voters across party lines. Backlash from the court decision was widely credited with helping Democrats score some critical wins, including a state legislative majority in Michigan and control of the Pennsylvania House, while voters even in heavily Republican states turned out in droves to oppose antiabortion ballot measures.
Abortion rights advocates say they are exploring 2024 ballot measures in at least a dozen states to enshrine abortion rights in their state constitutions. Momentum is building in many states with strict abortion bans, including Oklahoma, Missouri, Arkansas, Ohio and South Dakota, according to several national abortion rights advocates with knowledge of early conversations across the country.
“Democrats should not be shy about being bold and using every tool to fight for individual rights,” said Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D), who won easy reelection in a state that also voted to protect abortion rights through a ballot measure. States that have the ability to do a Michigan-style ballot initiative “should certainly be exploring it,” Whitmer said.
While abortion rights advocates appear largely united in their approach, the rise of abortion pills and the election results have combined to highlight tensions among conservatives over what to do next.
The next few months could pit the “true believers” — those who genuinely care about limiting the number of abortions — against those who back antiabortion policies to score political points, said Jonathan Mitchell, the antiabortion lawyer behind the novel Texas abortion ban that took effect in 2021.
Mitchell said he has been involved in discussions about aggressive and unconventional measures that he thinks are necessary if Republicans are determined to actually limit the number of abortions. But he is unsure whether Republicans will have the political will to pursue those ideas.
“Especially after this election, a lot of Republicans will want to change the subject, and going after abortion pills is not the way to change the subject,” he said….
