Republicans who control a majority of the nation’s statehouses are considering a wide range of abortion legislation that could test the government’s legal ability to restrict a woman’s right to terminate pregnancy.
The Mississippi House passed a bill Friday that would make the state the only one to ban all abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy. In Missouri, lawmakers heard testimony earlier in the week on a bill that would ban abortions after 20 weeks.
The Ohio House is expected to consider bills, already passed in the Senate, that would prohibit the most common type of procedure used to end pregnancies after 13 weeks and require that fetal remains be buried or cremated.
Abortion is a perennial hot button issue in statehouses across the country. Republican-controlled states have passed hundreds of bills since 2011 restricting access to the procedure while Democratic-led states have taken steps in the other direction.
The early weeks of this year’s state legislative sessions have seen a flurry of activity around the issue. It comes as activists on both sides say they expect the U.S. Supreme Court to soon consider a question that remains unclear: How far can states go in restricting abortion in the interest of preserving and promoting fetal life?
If you have been banging your head on the wall trying to figure out how in the hell the Evangelical community could possibly still support a thrice married pussy grabber, who screwed a porn star right after his third wife gave birth to his son, this is your answer.
The holy grail for religious conservatives is to do away with Roe vs Wade.
To that end they will literally excuse ANYBODY'S behavior.
Are you a womanizer? No problem if you are "pro-life."
Are you secretly a spy for the Kremlin? Not our business so long as you think abortion is murder.
Are you a tax evader, a wife beater, or accused of a Federal crime? Hey, only God can judge all of that, so long as you believe that a woman's greatest role in life is as breeding stock for white Christian babies.
Nothing else, and I mean NOTHING else, really matters.
