Legal: Can a state limit commerce to any other (specific) state?
I have no problem working to introduce legislation preventing my state from doing business or doing limited business with states which have draconian abortion laws.
Anyone? I don't need a full answer, just being pointed in a good direction would help.
is whether or not a Pro-Life state can prosecute its citizens for going to Pro-Choice state to have an abortion or whether or not a Pro-Choice state can deny a citizen of a Pro-Life state the procedure.
4. I believe some recent anti-abortion bills would not allow...
Women to leave the state for the procedure. But--how would this be enforced? Set up checkpoints at the border, with pregnancy tests for all women of childbearing age?
Seeking treatment for the possible after-effects of an abortion would be dicey. Obviously, illegal abortions have a high rate of problems. Would women die of infections or bleed to death rather than risk being arrested in the ER? And a small percentage of women receiving legal abortions do need medical help afterward.
Why the HELL would a Pro-Choice state deny women living in Anti-Choice states the procedure?
7. I was not aware there was an attempt to criminalize going out of state
I am not even sure if there are any laws that makes behaviour or an action that is legal in another state a crime. Wouldn't the activity be outside the State attempting to reach across borders' juristiction?
NY it was legal and NJ is wasn't. Really angered the pro lifers in NJ that women could just hop on a PATH train into NYC for an abortion and there was nothing they could do about it. I remember all the screaming that went on back then.
They all KNOW this. This is why they will attempt to force the choice states in line by FEDERAL laws. I troll their sites and they has always said this. They want a federal law or amendment to constitution to declare a FERTILIZED EGG to be a person. You see, they have even thought about "chemical abortions" by pills too.
Is it constitutional to do something like prevent people from crossing state lines to get a pregancy? NO Will the Republicans pass a law to do so, and will justices like Alito uphold that law? PROBABLY
Remember the constitution doesn't matter a damn to them.
