It was 2022 when the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, but 2024 is starting amid a wave of news about court cases and laws restricting abortion access in the United States — and there's even more decisions on the horizon.

In recent days, the Supreme Court and a federal appeals court ruled abortion bans in Idaho and Texas mean hospitals do not have to perform abortions in medical emergencies, such as when someone giving birth experiences severe bleeding or preeclampsia.

Those laws are a part of an ongoing trend of some Republican-led states placing more restrictions on abortion-related health care, including bans on the procedure when the life of the pregnant parent could be at risk. Meanwhile, Democratic-led states have generally kept or strengthened abortion access.

Ugh, this kind of shit is how civil wars start.

[–] pineapplelover@infosec.pub 17 points 10 months ago (2 children)

This time. Let's just let them secede.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 19 points 10 months ago (1 children)

There would be women in those seceded states. Women who didn't vote for Republicans and women who might need abortions. We should not abandon them.

I'm all for offering relocation assistance.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I honestly don't think the union could afford to relocate that many families and get them jobs and housing.

[–] rivermonster@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

We could use all the money the red states cost us. They're the majority of the taker states getting way more back in federal dollars than they send.

[–] AbsoluteChicagoDog@lemm.ee 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Honestly yes. What are they even doing for us at this point?

[–] pineapplelover@infosec.pub 0 points 10 months ago

Apart from fucking up all of humanity? Not much.

[–] BloodSlut@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

bold move in an election year

[–] kiwizz@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

There is no real logical argument against abortion access.

Oh they are that creepy sales person that puts their foot in the door to keep you from closing the door. The GOP got their foot in the door when roe v wade was overturned. They are coming for everyone's abortion rights
