While They’re All About Rights Of The Unborn, They Don’t Seem To Care At All About A Woman’s Right To Choose Or About Protections For The Living, Such As…
Gun Laws, Welfare, Child Care, Health Care, Sick Leave, Social Security, Environmental Protection And Climate Change Just To Name A Few.
Rather than looking out for us all, Republican lawmakers are pushing for further restrictions on reproductive health, even in states where abortion is already banned.
Near-total abortion bans are in effect in 13 states, and others have limited access: In Georgia, the procedure is banned for people later than six weeks of pregnancy, and in Florida and Arizona, it is banned after 15 weeks of pregnancy.
Two bills in Texas show how legislation could prevent people from leaving the state to access abortion.
Republican lawmakers have put forth a bill that would prohibit government entities from giving someone money that might be used to travel out of state for an abortion. Another bill would eliminate state tax breaks for businesses in the state that help cover their employees’ travel costs associated with getting an abortion outside of the state.
Some states have expressed interest in limiting access to some forms of emergency contraception such as Plan B.
Florida legislators have already said they intend to pass a new abortion ban this year. In South Carolina, whose six-week ban has been blocked by state courts, legislators came to an impasse this summer over the details of their proposed near-total abortion ban — specifically whether to include exceptions for people pregnant because of rape or incest.
