Democratic governors form alliance on abortion rights

Democratic governors in 20 states are launching a network intended to strengthen abortion access in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court decision nixing a woman’s constitutional right to end a pregnancy and instead shifting regulatory powers over the procedure to state governments.

Organizers, led by California Gov. Gavin Newsom, described the Reproductive Freedom Alliance as a way for governors and their staffs to share best practices and affirm abortion rights for the approximately 170 million Americans who live in the consortium’s footprint — and even ensuring services for the remainder of U.S. residents who live in states with more restrictive laws.

“We can all coalesce,” New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham said in an interview ahead of a Tuesday announcement. She added that the court’s Dobbs decision that ended a national right to abortion “horrified” and put pressure on governors to act. “This is leveraging our strengths ... to have more of a national voice.”

That includes, organizers said, sharing model statutory language and executive orders protecting abortion access, ways to protect abortion providers from prosecution, strategies to maximize federal financing for reproductive health care such as birth control, and support for manufacturers of abortion medication and contraceptives that face potential new restrictions from conservatives.

Lujan Grisham noted the launch comes as a federal court in Texas considers a challenge to the nationwide availability of medication abortion, which now accounts for the majority of abortions in the U.S.

In a statement, Newsom called the effort, which he and his aides spent months organizing, “a moral obligation” and a “firewall” to protect “fundamental rights.”

Still, Newsom aides said the group would welcome Republicans, though they declined to name any GOP executives that Newsom or other Democratic governors might be recruiting to the consortium. Indeed, a handful of Republican governors support abortion rights broadly. New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu, for example, signed a bill banning abortions after 24 weeks of pregnancy but said after the Dobbs decision that abortion would remain legal in his state. He has indicated he would not back further limits.

Just. Wow. The ignorance is strong here. There is no such thing as a "constitutional right" and there never was a constitutionally protected right to end a pregnancy.

After Roe was overturned I said that we were given an opportunity for national repentance and also that the forces serving evil would scurry to take it back and prevent it because they serve demonic forces.

Ask the inhabitants of ancient Jerusalem who started to repent and free their slaves, fellow Israelites, but then took back their repentance and forced them back into bondage just how things turned out for them?

I live in De Pere, WI. I’m surprised that Gov. Evers wants to propose a pro-abortion bill, although he knows it won’t pass.

Kill the “Little Bastards” and “throw them in a dumpster”! “Nothing is more important than better orgasms!” What courage it must take to cut your offspring to pieces! Women must be free, and there is no greater expression of freedom that to slaughter your own children and burn their bodies on the Alter of Sex!
There is just one problem with this delusion: there is a God. His Judgement is here. Noe. It is upon us. We must Repent. All of us.

“The Baby Killer Governor’s Alliance!”

Even that’s too unwieldly of a name. They need something snappier. How about “The Baby-snuffers’ Club”?

Since abortion is now in the purview of each state, why do the communists need to create a consortium of states that support it? In MHO they should mind their own business. OTOH if this consortium is to be some sort of a financial / economic tool to hammer Red states that treat abortion differently, I really don’t see how that could be worthwhile.

Who knows - leftists are nutz.

"Just. Wow. The ignorance is strong here. There is no such thing as a "constitutional right" and there never was a constitutionally protected right to end a pregnancy."

Ordinary Democratic voters need to reverse engineer the very corrupt Democratic Party political correct right to murder unborn Democratic voters, and get a grip on the idea that Roe v. Wade was a major constitutional scandal to help keep very corrupt Democratic elite in power.

In other words, the only thing that Democratic and RINO elite pirates understand is what to promise to institutionally indoctrinated voters to "buy" their votes in order to win the next election, even if evil promise insanely reduces the size of Democratic voter pool in long run. The Democratic elite will “worry” about loss of voters later.
