The 13 States with post roe vs wade trigger laws
Ahh, listen up jerkoff, abortion (killing babies) isn’t a constitutional right. The 1973 law was a sham and an immoral
act against humanity .
A Republican congress and president could outlaw abortion in DC.
I suspect all 13 states on this list are being misrepresented.
The majority of the American public are somewhere in the middle on the abortion question. They roughly split four ways: total ban (except to save the life of the mother) (we can call this the Catholic view), total permissive (we can call this the Democrat view), mostly legal or mostly illegal (whatever the last two things are supposed to mean).
My point isn’t to argue for any of these positions but only to correct the misrepresentations of the Democrats that these 13 states are making abortion totally illegal.
I checked Arkansas and that state’s law moved the ban on abortion from week 20 to week 18.

I also checked Idaho and that state’s law has a rape and incest exception.
Most democratic countries are permissive about abortion but only during the first few months of a pregnancy (first three or four months).
On the other hand, only the communist countries of China, Viet Nam and North Korea allow abortion on demand until birth, in addition to Democrats.
Have some faith in the democratic process. We will, in our several states, figure this thing out.
Abortion is not a federal concern any more than a drive by in Chicago is. The whole decision process should have stayed within the localities and with the determination of the the local people it actually concerns.
Every time the feds make a decision it automatically adversely effects more than half of the people in the country. And when you consider that the CDC reported 629,898 known abortions in 2019, looking at just the District of Columbia and the 47 states that reported figures in both years it constitutes a small percentage of the number of births in the US same time frame. So, how many does it reflect?
There is no law by the federal government about the consumption of alcohol that they can enforce. They have a law which places the legal age minimum at 21. But if a state refuses to abide by it all they can do is cut off their federal highway funds. Might call that blackmail. This at the same time that federal troops can consume on federal reservations under 21.
The use of drugs is another law that is in the same boat.
There are other laws but let’s take it to basics. The feds are not getting into this for the reality of it. They are in it for votes! And if the effort is taking the rights of the citizens at the same time, oh well.
If anyone is trying to control abortion, it is the feds, not the people. And isn’t it the responsibilities of the feds to work for the people?

A law passed in Michigan in 1931 that bans abortions has been unenforceable since 1973 when the Supreme Court ruled on Roe v. Wade.
And although the Supreme Court has ruled to overturn that decision, that old law isn't going into effect quite yet. We've compiled everything you need to know about what the law, and the end of Roe v. Wade means for Michigan.
Is abortion now illegal in Michigan?
No. In April, Planned Parenthood of Michigan and Dr. Sarah Wallett filed a lawsuit seeking to block enforcement of the 1931 law, which would outlaw abortion in the state.
In May, the Michigan Court of Claims granted a preliminary injunction in the suit, meaning the 1931 law will not go into effect until there is a decision in the lawsuit.
However, Right to Life of Michigan, the Michigan Catholic Conference, and two county prosecutors have asked the appeals court to throw out the injunction. Republican leaders in the state legislature have also filed a brief saying they would defend the law in court since Attorney General Dana Nessel has refused to.
What does the 1931 law say?
Under this law, almost all abortions would be considered a felony with a possible penalty of up to four years in prison.
Both doctors who assist in abortions and pregnant people who use medication for self-abortions could be charged.
What exceptions are granted?
The law — one of the strictest in the county — does not grant exceptions in cases of rape or incest. It does grant exceptions to “preserve the life” of the mother, however, experts aren’t sure exactly what that means.
When considering other factors — such as the risk level, the viability of the fetus, or pre-existing conditions that may be worsened by the pregnancy — many doctors are concerned about the phrase's ambiguity. Some physicians say they would be forced to decide if a pregnancy is risky enough to justify an abortion under the 1931 law, and to defend themselves if charged.
Why wasn’t the law repealed?
Michigan Democrats previously introduced bills attempting to repeal the 1931 law, but they did not pass through the Republican-dominated legislature. This is true in many states, where similar limits on abortion would take effect if Roe is overturned.
Could it still be repealed?
Yes. A petition initiative is underway for those hoping to get a reproductive rights amendment proposal on the November ballot. In April, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer filed a lawsuit asking the Michigan Supreme Court to strike down the law. Planned Parenthood of Michigan and the ACLU of Michigan both also filed lawsuits, which caused the temporary injunction described above, and are assisting with ballot initiatives.
What other changes could be made if the law takes effect?
Bills introduced by Republican legislators are aiming to ban abortion drugs being prescribed through telemedicine, and a budget proposal would deny Medicaid funds to clinics offering abortion services.
What would it look like if invoked?
Attorney General Dana Nessel, who is up for reelection in November, said she would not enforce the law. Seven county prosecutors also said they will not prosecute abortion cases if the law takes effect.
Nessel acknowledged, however, that she cannot prevent elected county prosecutors from bringing such cases.
Abortion is illegal in MI now and Dimwhitler and the Commie AG are going nuts.
13 states..
The country has a history with 13..
And the New Covenant Church began with 13..
Make Row vs. Wade an illegal alien transportation option again!
The alan guttmacher institute is, I think, planned parenthood.
I believe that the Court actually punted on the abortion issue here. Saying that there is no federal right to an abortion is of little help if there isn’t also a federal right to life. Letting each state decide when a human becomes a “person” with rights and privileges didn’t work in the run up to the Civil War, and won’t work now.
