There are now 10 states have bills (introduced or carried over this session) that would ban abortion or trigger abortion bans if Roe were overturned.
Those states are: GA, IN, KY, MO, MS, OH, OK, SD, TN, WV.
It's been introduced here in OH, but thank god the majority leader killed it. Though if it got enough publicity they'd bring it back out. BTw, USA Today ripped SD a new one about their ban. This is ridiculous. I also spent all morning in health committee hearings because here the want to let pharmacists refuse to fill EC and birth control on "moral grounds" because apparently only the wackos are "moral."
I'm confused. I don't think I understood your comment. Did you say either you can have abortion and ban contraception or you can ban abortion and have contraception?
I didn't mean "ban contraception" so much as the whole pharmacists refusing thing. If you don't want people having abortion you better give them contraception. They ain't gonna stop fuckin.
Oh, I agree. But these are the crazies that believe even though up to 50% of fertilized zygotes abort naturally, life still begins and fertilization. So even the slight possiblity that BC prevents implantation (even the FDA says at this point that's not what BC and EC do) is the end of a life.
The particular person who testified this morning also believed in capital punishment. Because criminals aren't "innocent" but fetuses are. Someone should have asked him if he believed in original sin.
