Abortion Rights Take Center Stage Nationwide.
Abortion and the right to receive one is now front and center in battles across the country after the over the of ‘Roe V. Wade’.
“The fight over reproductive rights continued to play out in Washington and across the country on Thursday as lawmakers battle over the right to seek abortions across state lines while state governments push for greater autonomy from President Biden’s administration and the courts
The House today is set to vote on a pair of bills as part of the Democratic response to the Supreme Court’s striking down of Roe v. Wade. One would restore the right to an abortion as previously protected by Roe, a similar piece of legislation that House Democrats passed in September to codify the 1973 ruling into law. The second bill would block states from interfering with the right to travel to obtain an abortion (CBS News). ”
Abortion rights were never all that settled in this nation after the rise of Evangelical Christianity of the late 1970’s and 1980’s. Now after the overturn of ‘Roe v. Wade’ it appears the extensive fights and litigation are just beginning in what will be a long slog for abortion rights in America. Blue states are enshrining the rights to abortion while Red states are prosecuting the procedure. The aftermath will be an ever more divided America.
