abortion rights still enact a decades old ban? what happens with abortion pills? where can they and can t they be mailed? what about the politics, can a republican congress with a republican president now move to restrict all abortions across the can country? what can democrats do to reverse this, if anything? at least ten states quickly moved to implement laws effectively banning abortions since friday, some happened with trigger laws, another five states expected to enact further laws limiting abortion and all 26 states have laws that indicate they could outlaw or set extreme limits on the procedure. there were some protests across the country over the weekend, they were largely peaceful. and as some states move to restrict abortion rights others are taking steps to protect access and funding. some major companies are pledging to provide support not just for employees, in some cases they re saying they re going to provide support for dependents in states where abortions a
maybe it s not protected. very much an unresolved issue. like wise if you are in missouri and you are advised if i advise you you can go to illinois to get an abortion is it possible that the person who did the advising broke a law? entirely possible. the whole concept of aiding and abetting an abortion, again, south dakota, oklahoma, for example, it s illegal. what happens okay, advising is one thing. there are now many funds in the united states to pay for women to travel to states where abortion is legal. is paying a woman s expenses, paying for an abortion in another state, are you aiding and abetting an abortion? very important question. it s also an issue regarding corporations. many corporations are saying we as part of our employee benefits, as part of health insurance because we think abortion is health care, we are going to pay for the travel to
