48. Actually I don't think a federal pro-abortion bill would survive a court challenge

Fri May 6, 2022, 10:09 AM

May 2022

For federal laws to supersede state laws require a federal interest. I think Congress should push for a law protecting women crossing state or international boarders for abortions. This uses the federal superiority in areas of interstate commerce and movement. The law could protect the woman and whomever is helping her from the laws that permit individuals to file suit against women and their helpers.
