Democratic strongholds are positioning themselves as safe havens for women seeking abortions who live in states with new restrictions on the procedures.
On Monday, the Idaho House of Representatives passed a pro-life law similar to the Texas legislation that bans abortions after cardiac activity can be detected — at about six weeks of pregnancy.
"Texas law does not grant the state-agency executives named as defendants in this case any authority to enforce the Act’s requirements," Justice Jeffrey Boyd wrote.
In an 8-1 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron (R) can defend the commonwealth’s law banning live-dismemberment abortion, despite Gov. Andrew Beshear’s (D) refusal.
The Florida state legislature has passed a law that bans abortions after 15 weeks, with the exception of fatal fetal abnormality or “serious risk” to the mother.
Madam Speaker, Madam Vice President, our First Lady and Second Gentleman. Members of Congress and the Cabinet. Justices of the Supreme Court. My fellow Americans.
