Several national antiabortion groups and their allies in Republican-led state legislatures are advancing plans to stop people in states where abortion is banned from seeking the procedure elsewhere, according to people involved in the discussions. The idea has gained momentum in some corners of the antiabortion movement in the days since the Supreme Court struck down its 49-year-old precedent protecting abortion rights nationwide, triggering abortion bans across much of the Southeast and Midwest.

Yes. Nothing like that is going to happen. Although CA has established the precedent of banning government travel to specific states it despises. They would be hard pressed to complain about that kind of restriction.
I call BS. Maybe some super-extreme anti-abortionists would attempt to find a way to learn motivations for travel, but it’s virtually impossible.
MSM is making sheeite up to smear anti-abortionists.
Any actual names of real people, or are they just making up some mid-term election propaganda? I’ve never heard of anyone wanting to chase after abortion-seekers who go out-of-state?
sorry...but if this is true, its just crazy...lunacy.
Can’t get past the demand to subscribe to the WaComPost. Do they list the groups and legislators that are trying to stop interstate travel?
This would be FEAR PORN, not at it’s best..but good.
I wonder how many days it will be before this WaPo reporter is tossed under the bus for fabricating bs.
“…has gained momentum in some corners…”
In some corners.
Ok. No. No sale.
In any case this was not what the court stated. It was a ruling on constitutional grounds
And does the WaPo mention how these “corners” were preventing people from traveling across state lines?
No. Preposterous.
No such legislation has even been introduced in any state.
Hmm, closest precedent law I can think of would be the “Mann Act”.
Crossing state lines for immoral purposes.
That would be a “Creative” interpretation.
But if they cross alone I do not see it applying even by the wildest stretch of application.
WaPO fabricator could be stretching a legitimate question which may arise regarding states paying (ie. taxpayers) for transportation to/for abortions, in which case the reasons may be known beforehand.
The Mann Act is a federal law. States don’t have the ability to regulate interstate travel or commerce.
That won’t go well at all. It’s the religious right that gets the whole of the right labeled as crazy Christians. They would have women with life-threatening birth complications die instead of aborting the fetus that will lead to their death.
Just the Compost lying again, trying to gin upenerate anger in the Democrat Party for the midterm elections.
I don't think it would pass Constitutional review either.
absolutely true statement.
Correct. Not going to happen.
The democrats lost the upper hand on the abortion issue by not being satisfied with their “safe, legal and rare” policy and constantly pushing the radical extreme up to killing live babies.
If the anti-abortion forces push unreasonable extreme policies they will meet the same fate and endanger the gains we have achieved.
