partisan lines by the republican party, if this judge now goes after fda approval, it would mean you cannot access the medication in any state, including new york, california, massachusetts, all the states that have strong provisions for access to safe and legal abortion. it will be dvastating for women in this country. cecil, i m just brought back to august of last year when we re having the conversation about texas vigilante law. all of the dystopian scenarios, the fever dreams of the far right for limiting women s access to health care seem to be birthed in the laboratory of ideas of moving the whole country in that direction. how has this gotten this far? i think it s gotten this far. and you have i have talked about this, the republican party has
the states supreme court once again reinstating a six-week abortion ban on wednesday after a lower judge suspended the law week before. six weeks is before even women know knows they re pregnant. that means the vance remains in effect until the state supreme courts russ rejected a request from abortion providers for 20 were our notice before reinstating the spent. shauna i gotta say, as all of this broke at the end of last week, i couldn t help but think about what took place in texas, when that vigilante law was put placed on the back and forth there as well, as we watched what happened, and all of these abortion clinics that were in limbo as to what actually do and how to move forward, here we are in the state of georgia dealing with the exact same thing and roe v. wade no longer being the law of the land. how jarring is this if you re
texas vigilante law was passed in the dobbs case. i have this map. i found this with you in mind and this is where the bans are banned right away, alabama, arkansas, kentucky, louisiana, south dakota, texas, utah. within a month, idaho, mississippi, north dakota, tennessee, wyoming likely to ban or considering bans, georgia, indiana, south carolina, west virginia. uncertain fate, arizona, florida, kansas, michigan, montana, nebraska, north carolina, pennsylvania, virginia, wisconsin and then likely to be protected is everything in blue. when you see it like this, it is it is so out of reach and unrealistic to think that telling women they can travel or be protected legally if they try
the texas ban. it allows citizens to point out people and say i believe they had an abortion, i believe they are thinking of helping somebody with an abortion and i m going to sue. what are you concerned about? that s right. three weeks ago they enacted a texas-style ban, vigilante law, that bans abortion at six weeks, which is before many people even know they re pregnant. and that wasn t cruel enough and these oklahoma politicians have
this decision hold, is the worst-case scenario. i know a lot of people are thinking maybe the court would uphold this mississippi law while still not explicitly rejecting roe and trying to find some middle space. we know that is not the case now. this is a full frontal attack on the due process. and i think that part also is very surprising to me. what do you think about that, tally? what does this do to other rights of privacy that we have. well, the draft opinion. protests a lot about this. protests may be too much about this, because it says right there, he asks justice alito, where does it say abortion in the constitution? how many times? and he says, zero. that s one sentence. so that begs the question, what about all the other rights that aren t written in the constitution? and he says, well, we re not going after the ones that are rooted in the history and traditions of this country. and that are essential to liberty. but, it s not entirely obvious
