Ever since Roe vs. Wade,
conservative have worked hard to chip away at women’s rights and women’s health
care. Their goal then and now is/was ban abortion. Abortion has been an obsession
for the Republicans. That is the reason they paid no attention to all the allegations
that Donald Trump’s new Supreme Court Justice, Brett
Kavanaugh, is actually a rapist. The
Republicans were willing to overlook that in order to stack the Supreme Court
with conservative anti-abortion judges. They would have approved Kavanaugh if
he was a child molester or a heroin dealer. It is highly likely that abortion
will not be legal in the next few years. So some Republicans are already trying
to get ahead of the game and banning abortion now. –SJ Otto
From The
Hill:
Arkansas Gov. Asa
Hutchinson (R) on Tuesday signed into a law a measure that would automatically
ban abortion if the U.S. Supreme Court overturns its 1973 landmark Roe v. Wade
ruling that legalized abortion nationwide.
Hutchinson’s office
said the governor signed the legislation, making it the fifth state with the
so-called triggered abortion ban bill, The Associated Press reported.
The bills hinge on the
belief that a more conservative Supreme Court could overturn its 46-year-old
decision and return authority to legalize abortion to the states.
The law bans most
abortions except for medical emergencies if the country’s highest court were to
overturn its previous decision. The state currently outlaws abortion 20 weeks
into a pregnancy.
The legislation was
passed in the Republican-controlled state legislature last week.
Louisiana, Mississippi, North Dakota and South
Dakota have similar “trigger” bans on the books. A similar measure has recently
been introduced in Kentucky and Tennessee.
Unfortunately it will happen again!
