I should probably know the answer to this, but I don’t —
Once upon a time, I believe, individual states had various laws on abortion. Then Roe v Wade came along and claimed to establish a constitutional right to abortion that operated at the federal level.
And so (I think) state level laws on abortion largely disappeared —not entirely, but mostly. Now we see states stepping up and basically banning abortion — which I think is a direct challenge to Roe v Wade.
I assume this is all an effort to get this in front of the Supreme Court again so that Roe can be over turned. Barring such a new SCOTUS ruling, these new state laws are directly in conflict with “settled law”, right? In effect, under Roe, these states “can’t do” what they are doing. Is that right?
(And just in case there is any confusion: I’m thrilled that these states are doing what they are doing.)
"Moderate" Rats will not be tolerated...not even in Louisiana.
All the gay guys in Nola are worried about “women’s reproductive rights.” Yeah, sell me another one.
Good for the Governor. If he goes back into private life for doing the right thing, he will at least know that he did something beautiful for God.
What do you mean “probably”? You will or you won’t? The only reason to say “probably” is to see if the feces hit the fan real bad, in which case you retract it.
Off-topic but why is he referred to as Bel Edwards? Bel with one L is his middle name, from what I understand. Bel is a family surname in his family tree.
Is this an attempt to distinguish him from John Edwards the former Senator and John Kerry’s running mate?
Just saying, he’s never referred to as John Edwards, it’s always John Bel Edwards.
Send in federal investigators to protect life from democrats.
BTTT!
Didn’t know there were any Democrats with a conscience left. Good for him.
Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana- the Confederacy is reforming. TIME OUT IS OVER. Ironically, CWI was fought over human rights and CWII may be also.
New York’s insane abortion stance seems to have awoken other states.
As other states move to protect the unborn, New York looks more and more fringe.
The Democrats’ tolerance for baby-killing has permeated the entire culture.
Every day, we wake up to headlines about parents murdering their own children in unspeakably horrifying ways.
Such stuff would have been unfathomable a generation ago.
