This is the most willfully ignorant thing I've read in a long time.
Bullshit. In California you have rights. In Texas they have the explicit right to deny you a lifesaving abortion. The degree of human rights you have used to be generally the same state by state until roe was killed
It's still an insult that it was only upheld by precedence and wasn't enshrined into a federal law. This isn't something that states should have the choice of deciding, as it massively affects the quality of healthcare across the country.
Of course, but also the last democratic supermajority barely lasted long enough to get a pared down ACA which was an immediate priority at the time. The implied right to privacy was seen as fairly stable until the republicans began stealing Supreme Court seats.
Nah it’s not just a state. A lot of Ob/Gyn physicians no longer feel comfortable practicing in states with extremely prohibitive abortion laws because it genuinely limits what kind of healthcare they can practice. This limits access to care, which can result in poor outcomes.
Have you been paying attention to the news coming out of texas? I'm guessing not.
