It’s a mess there.
The end of the Roe v. Wade case. Wade was foreseen, but to a large extent in the country, it still created miserable and potentially tragic uncertainties. There were many reports of patients screaming and sobbing desperately when the clinic canceled the appointment. A recipe for abortion with potentially deadly herbs has been talked about on TikTok. A group of hospitals, pharmacies and clinics in Missouri have temporarily suspended the provision of emergency contraception in a state where the so-called trigger law banned abortion shortly after Law’s death. In some states, IVF doctors are afraid that they may be prosecuted for discarding unused embryos.
All states where abortion is banned offer exemptions to save the lives of mothers, but because they are not generally well defined, doctors and their lawyers can legally justify interventions. You have to decide for yourself.What if I get pregnant Might be so Do you want to kill a woman? What if doctors believe it would be life-threatening, but it doesn’t happen right away? How ill does the patient need to be before the health care professional can act? Lisa Larson Bunnell, a medical regulation lawyer at Missouri Hospital, wants to know if methotrexate, a drug used to treat some cancers, lupus, and rheumatoid arthritis, can be used. “The answers to these questions will be case-specific,” she said.
The ambiguity of these laws is an expression of contempt. The people who wrote them are not fully aware of how reproduction interacts with other health conditions and either think or they don’t care what they forbid. Many Americans who do not expect abortion to apply in the coming weeks or months will often see how health care is reduced at the most vulnerable moments in their lives. May be shocked.
“The widespread impact of this Supreme Court ruling and its impact on women’s health and people’s health in many ways is still just beginning to be understood,” said Senator Tina Smith of the Minnesota Democratic Party. He was the 11 Vice Presidents of Planned Parenthood. Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota.
The legal turmoil unleashed by the Supreme Court’s ruling will fundamentally change relations between nations. As the Washington Post reported, a conservative legal group called the Thomas More Society is drafting a model bill based on the abortion bounty building in Texas. It will allow people in states where abortion is illegal to sue those who help abortion elsewhere. The model state law proposed by the National Right to Life Committee is a provider that the organization creates an analogy to RICO-style law and publishes information about abortion providers and locations of abortions that seek to circumvent state bans. Is targeted at.
Under the law proposed by NRLC, it would be a felony to transfer minors out of state for abortion without the knowledge of their parents. For example, it is not clear whether a teenage mother could be charged with taking her daughter across state boundaries for her abortion without telling the girl’s father. .. This can be a particularly ugly problem in divorce and custody battles.
Traveling in the Red States can be dangerous for people at the wrong end of any of these attempted prosecutions. Already, Montana’s planned parent-child relationship has stopped providing abortion medications to people in states where abortion is banned because of “possible civil and criminal proceedings.”
I continue to believe that Democrats in Congress should have Republicans vote on each element of the government that rights impose on us. Before they voted in the Supreme Court to overthrow Law, Republicans were skilled in putting Democrats in defense while stripping down their right to abortion. Consider the so-called Partial Abortion Ban Act of 2003, which outlawed late abortion technology. There was good reason for the Democrats to oppose the law — it forced women facing health risks or carrying fetuses with severe abnormalities to receive more dangerous treatment. However, the explanation of the abortion in question was thick and helped the Republicans portray selected Democrats as radicals.
There are democratic staff who want to do the same. One democratic aid recently told me that the Senate wanted to try to systematize the right to abortion in the event of rape, incest, and threats to the health of the mother. Such measures can divide Republicans and, assuming they are trying to thwart them, could emphasize their fanaticism.
However, aid pointed out that supporters generally opposed such an approach and regarded it as a setback. And Smith was skeptical because she thought the Republicans wouldn’t even allow such a bill to go into debate. “There is no evidence that there are 10 Republicans who are willing to provide those protections to women,” she said.
Therefore, Congress is unlikely to do anything to stop the upcoming catastrophe until the Democrats finally get enough Senate seats to remove the filibuster. Plan A is for the Democratic Party to win in November. As far as I know, there is no plan B.
