    Ohio governor signs ban on abortion after first heartbeat as smiling staff bring their children to watch historic moment - as opponents plan immediate constitutional challenge


    Full blown war on women happening in the US again.... frankly, hardly any Americans really seem to care that much. Not in relative terms. Somehow, everything else TRUMPS women"s rights un America at the moment. IMO. Someone questioned my position that this war against women is equivalent to hate speech. I stand by that characterization 100% though, and can only feel frustration with those who will deny it.
    Meanwhile, the SCOTUS is being stacked against women too.

    It is a war. And it is crazy. It is due to Trump's picks for SCOTUS, which have potentially tipped the scales in a way that states have decided they want to test things out again. Neither this law, nor the Texas death penalty for abortions law would have even been considered 10 years ago (or 5 years ago). This highlights the importance electing someone competent as president. Trump is doing considerable damage to the country with his court picks, not just SCOTUS, but at the various federal court levels.

    Ohio going out of its way to guarantee a lot of illegal and unsafe abortions, or forcing women to travel long distances to access safe abortion. Because if history tells us anything, it's that women continue to seek abortions even when they are illegal and risky.

    Georgia's governor signs a controversial abortion bill into law https://www.cnn.com/2019/05/07/health/georgia-abortion-bill/index.html

    After shouting match breaks out, Alabama Senate reverses course and tables controversial abortion vote


    After a fight broke out, the Alabama Senate on Thursday voted to table a controversial bill to criminalize abortions by making preforming the procedure a felony punishable by up to 99 years imprisonment.

    The bill, which appeared to pass by a vote of 23 to 6, was then tabled. Democrats shouted demands for a roll-call vote.

    The vote was then tabled until next week. The bill would be the most restrictive in the country and would impose what is in effect a near-total abortion ban.

    Alabama is among more than two dozen states which have sought to impose new restrictions on abortion this year. Georgia on Tuesday became the sixth state to impose a ban on abortions after the sixth week of pregnancy.

    Alabama Rep. Terri Collins, who sponsored the bill, said its purpose is to spark litigation that would force the conservative majority on the U.S. Supreme Court to reconsider Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 decision that guarantees a woman’s right to abortion.

    Under the Alabama legislation, doctors will not be able to give abortions once a fetus is “in utero.”

    The version that passed in the statehouse only allowed for a single exception — in cases involving a serious health risk “to the unborn child’s mother.” An amendment added in the Senate would also provide for exceptions in the case of rape or incest. That amendment was the subject of fierce debate on Thursday.

    Gov. Kay Ivey, who has described herself as “pro-life,” is expected to sign the bill into law as soon as this week, although she has declined to comment directly on the legislation until it was finalized.

    The people who voted for it?  When their daughters get pregnant out of wed-lock, they’ll be sneaking them out of the country.
