https://www.cnn.com/2022/03/24/politics/political-issues-2022-abortion/index.htmlThe political worlds attention in recent days has largely been centered on the Russia-Ukraine crisis and Ketanji Brown Jacksons historic Supreme Court nomination, the outcomes of which will have major implications for the future of Joe Bidens presidency.
But theres another issue simmering below the surface at the moment that could also go a long way in shaping the political environment heading into this years midterm elections: abortion.
After the US Supreme Court allowed a restrictive abortion law in Texas to remain in place, saying that abortion providers could still challenge the law in federal court, and took up a case on another in Mississippi which is a direct challenge to the 1973 landmark Roe v. Wade ruling Republican-controlled states have felt emboldened to pursue their own limitations on the procedure.
Four such states took further action on the hot-button issue just this week. In Idaho, GOP Gov. Brad Little signed a bill that bans abortion after roughly six weeks and allows family members of the fetus to sue abortion providers. Idaho is the first state to fully enact a law modeled on Texas restrictions.

You never know what the right wing will do. I never thought that Trump would be elected. The right wing is after Roe vs Wade..as the above story states. Hopefully Biden & Supreme Court will uphold Roe vs Wade.
and we all know it.

(38,414 posts)If a woman has no choice, then the government is telling her what she must do. The same right wing that is against
abortion, is against the idea of the government telling you what to do in other areas. Like if the government mandated
everyone must get vaccinated against Covid 19, the right wing would be against it......

These assholes want to abuse and traumatize women and get away with it period.
Too many christians go along with this and never question the bible.
I hate these tyrant men.
Wish I could castrate them all.
