In a ruling this past June, the U.S. Supreme Court said the Constitution does not confer a right to abortion; and it said the authority to regulate abortion resides with “the people and their elected representatives” — with the states, in other words.
But as state legislatures begin their sessions in this new year, U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland issued a warning on Monday: Any attempt by the states to ban or restrict abortion may be met with federal intervention of some kind, including lawsuits.
“On the day Roe was overturned, I said the Justice Department would use every tool at its disposal to protect the rights of Americans to their reproductive freedoms. And that is what we have done. That is what we will continue to do,” Garland told a news conference.
Garland and Associate Attorney General Vanita Gupta spoke shortly before meeting privately with members of DOJ’s Reproductive Rights Task Force, which Garland said has been “working tirelessly to protect access to reproductive care.”

Stuff it, you old bastard.
You just can't kill babies.
Slaughtering nascent life isn’t freedom, jackass — it’s state-sanctioned murder
States should say go pound sand, and arrest any fed that tries for trespassing and insurrection.
Exactly... abortion is all about trying to create a right to halt reproduction after it's already in progress. In other contexts, that's referred to as 'murder'.
There are higher priorities right now, Mr. Garland.

Simply put, Garland imagines enforces fake laws while ignoring real laws. Those his ass in prison. (After a trial and guilty verdict) He’s no better than a baby murderer.
The recent arrests of anti-abortion protestors are currently unlawful because there is no Federal jurisdiction.
For liberals, undermining laws which run counter to the liberal view of an issue, is considered ok.
So we see here, warnings against states passing abortion restrictions, in spite of the Supreme Court ruling which gives the states authority over that issue.
The DOJ has become America’s KGB
Like its Soviet cousin, its main function is to force political conformity of the ruling politburo and deep-state on all political players
Its methods, for now anyway, are slightly different
Science says a human life begins at conception.
I don't know how feasible it is, but I would like to see a state close local FBI offices, and kick all members out of its borders.
Constant threats from the feds at all levels.
Burn in hell Garland.
Gotta kill them babies. They LOVE killing babies. And if the baby isn’t born they want it thrown to the sodomites at a drag show.
Killing children is not “reproductive freedom”
Lawsuits that will just get kicked out at the circuit appeals level or at SCOTUS.
