an impact on the morning after pill, an impact on ivf because those are fertilized eggs. in missouri after roe falls, that fertilized egg is a person. anyone who interferes with the development of that egg becomes a criminal. senator, let s focus on the raw politics of this, if we can. democrats, as you know well, do not have the votes right now to try to overturn the filibuster. isn t trying to eliminate the filibuster a fool s errand. this happened because people voted for people who wanted to do this. there are many people in america who have no idea who their state representative is. have no idea how extreme they might be. this is a moment in time where every american needs to really check the rhetoric and the record and make sure the people that are representing them are people that they are comfortable
obtain care. if roe is overturned abortion would be immediately be banned in louisiana. according to the analysis by goodmacher a woman living in louisiana will have to drive an average of 666 miles to obtain an abortion one way. look at the states surrounding louisiana, they re all states likely to ban an abortion. a woman will have to cross multiple state lines to get care show used to get within a 40 mile radius. take a look at arizona, more than a million and a half women ofal childbearing age in arizon. roe protecting that, women have to drive an average of 11 miles one way to obtain abortion care. roe falls, abortion will be illegal in arizona and women will have to drive an average of 251av miles one way to obtain a abortion. let s do one more of these. let s look at florida, 4.6
access abortion? are they literally testing out something that they might use after roe falls, to try to track people who end their pregnancies or who have miscarriages and stillbirths? is this about ensuring the existence of an impoverished underclass? is it driven by racist views of, like, white extinction, which drove the criminalization of abortion last time our country did this, you know, over 100 years ago. it is fascinating to think of the reasoning. all the things you listed are bad. so any of those reasons would be bad. exactly. explain why you new book is called the pregnancy police. it makes me think of the texas law where vigilantes can sue anyone who helped someone get an abortion from literally any part of the country. they don t even have to live in texas. from maine, they can sue you because you drove your friend to seek out an abortion. sure. so i call it the pregnancy
and if after the abortion, they made sure that there was a place for women to go to make sure that they were okay. if it was an incomplete abortion, they would offer evacuation of the uterus or if it was a complication, they would just try to make sure that women had a safe place to go without stigma. i think that that s what we ll be left with, for those of us who it will just be unconscionable to do nothing in the face of women being endangered by abortion being overturned in roe falls, so it will depend on where you stand and what you, but all of us have been thinking about this all along. and we re grateful you are thinking about it in an interview in september in the atlantic, you were asked about medication abortions, and you said, i think it comes down to, do we trust women. those are driven by paternalistic decisions about women can be trusted with decisions.
