Multiple States Ban Abortion After SCOTUS Ruling | Eastern North Carolina Now

    Multiple Republican-controlled states moved to immediately ban abortions following the Supreme Court's decision Friday to overturn Roe v. Wade.

    "First, 13 states with 'trigger bans,' designed to take effect as soon as Roe is overturned, will ban abortion within 30 days," The Washington Post reported. "Several other states where recent antiabortion legislation has been blocked by the courts are expected to act next, with lawmakers moving to activate their dormant legislation. A handful of states also have pre-Roe abortion bans that could be brought back to life."

    States with "trigger bans" include Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, Texas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Kentucky.

    Next up are five states that do not have "trigger bans"-Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, Ohio, and Iowa-but have passed laws going after abortion but courts have struck those laws down. The Post notes with Roe v. Wade being overturned, those laws could easily go into effect.

    "While Indiana has not passed a strict abortion ban, the Republican-led state could go into special session this summer to crack down on the procedure," the Post added. "Meanwhile, West Virginia, another Republican-led state, never repealed its pre-Roe abortion ban, and recently added a constitutional amendment specifying that West Virginians do not have a right to abortion."

    Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin (R) will reportedly seek a ban on abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy.

With Roe v Wade (originated in 1973) overturned by the US Supreme Court, thereby allowing decisions on abortion legislation completely returned to the states: Where do you find your position on such a "Life and Death" issue for the American People?

  Yes, I approve of the US Supreme Court's decision to reinstate this "medical" issue back to the states' legislative responsibility to regulate.

  No, I believe that every woman should have complete access to abortion on demand.

  This issue is far beyond my intellectual capacity to understand.

With respect to the leaked opinion not yet written for ratification regarding the U.S. Supreme Court's revisiting the original decision of Roe v Wade, whence now nonstop protests have erupted in neighborhoods where U.S. Supreme Court justices live, exhibiting the firm intent to intimidate these officers of the highest court in the land: What action should the federal authorities take?

  Do nothing ... Protests are a fixture of a free society.

  Enforce the law ... Federal codes exist to prohibit any intimidation through the pubic harassment of federal judges, especially Supreme Court justices.

  I have no idea, however, northern Virginia School Board Members must be shielded from protests at all costs.
