The invoice, which was launched by Sens. Patty Murray (WA), Catherine Cortez Masto (NV), Sheldon Whitehouse (RI), and Kirsten Gillibrand (NY), would ban states from prosecuting ladies who journey out of state for an abortion.
There’s a sound authorized argument that states do not need the precise to prosecute any ladies who cross state strains for medical care as a result of any medical process throughout states could be interstate commerce and fall underneath the jurisdiction of the federal authorities.
Senate Republicans are displaying with their actions that the overturn of Roe was not about giving states the facility to make their very own choices on abortion. The overturn was about taking rights away from a lot of the inhabitants and turning them into second-class residents.
The Senate GOP is saying with its obstruction that ladies do not need the elemental proper to journey.
The obstruction is disgusting and is a warning to any one that cares about civil rights and liberties in the USA that Republicans are the anti-personal freedom social gathering.
