#Arizona governor signs into law measure to repeal 1864 #abortion ban
“Hobbs’ signature does not alone guarantee that the ban will not take effect. Arizona legislation typically takes effect 90 days after the conclusion of the state legis session, which may last into summer. Arizona Dem lawmakers lacked the numbers to add an emergency clause into the repeal to let it go into effect earlier…ban may temporarily come into force”

With #Florida's #abortion ban going into effect, expect another surge of women traveling to Mexico for abortion care.
While many US states have severely limited abortion after Roe v. Wade was overturned, 13 of 31 Mexican states have legalized abortion after the Supreme Court overturned an abortion ban in 2021.

Mexico emerges as a destination for Americans seeking reproductive health services – not for the first time
In Mexico, more states are legalizing abortion at the same time US states like Florida are imposing more restrictions.The Conversation
"As part of an extensive interview with Time Magazine, former President Donald Trump expanded on what abortion access would look like in the United States in a potential second term. Trump laid out a dystopian vision where pregnant women could be placed under state surveillance and then subjected to criminal punishment for any transgressions."

"As of midnight, an archaic near-total abortion ban went into effect in Florida. Donald Trump is to blame.
The state now outlaws nearly all abortions after 6 weeks, which is essentially a complete ban since a majority of women don't even know they’re pregnant that early on."

Missing from this piece is the fact that it’s virtually impossible to find a provider to perform an #abortion after 24 wks absent significant fetal abnormalities or a threat to the health/life of the pregnant person.
I get opposing a referendum that only guarantees access through 13 wks, but not one that guarantees access through viability and has appropriate exceptions beyond.
Plus it blunts the crazy propaganda about “abortion on demand until birth.”

This morning, I overheard someone talking about the "violence" that takes place during an #abortion . & so now, you get a 🧵.
Below is a wonderful chart that helps folks understand fetal development. There are times I want to have it painted on a sandwich board, so I can wear it everywhere I go.
I've given birth to a full-term baby; had an abortion; suffered a miscarriage. The least violent of the 3 was most assuredly the abortion. +
"A full 54% of Americans (and 56% of registered voters) now want Congress to pass 'a law that keeps abortion as legal and accessible as it was nationwide under Roe v. Wade,' according to a new Yahoo News/YouGov poll."
Yahoo News reports: "That is the highest level of public support for making Roe the 'law of the land' since Yahoo News and YouGov started asking about the issue in spring 2022."
Until abortion access is fully legal, digital surveillance poses a significant threat. We’ve gotten better at answering questions about how to keep each other safe. Here’s what we’ve learned.

"even if a pregnant patient had a prior written, notarized advance directive stating that they would not want to be kept on organ support if they weren’t likely to ever recover, a doctor could be required under 30 state laws to ignore those wishes and keep her alive.... in 12 of those states, that requirement would be in place even if the pregnancy was not viable."

Donald Trump's conflicting abortion stances are coming back to haunt him — and his party.
NBC News reports: "In the past three days, the former president has energized scores of Democrats across the country, elevated the marquee issue of his opponent’s campaign, potentially put a key battleground state at risk and drawn fire from onetime allies in his own party."

Trump's conflicting abortion stances are coming back to haunt him — and his party
On Monday, Donald Trump declared that abortion decisions should be left to the states, a statement he made to tamp down a fervor about his lack of clarity over how he'd handle the issue as president.Natasha Korecki (NBC News)
One way to fight anti-abortion laws is for citizen groups to file class action suits based on the laws being a violation of citizens' First Amendment rights to freedom of religion.
In addition, states that are imposing anti-abortion laws are also violating the Establishment Clause of the 1st Amendment, by attempting to establish a state religion based on their own "Christian" mythology. Amending or discarding the 1st Amendment would require a Constitutional Convention, and I'd think that even the religiously bigoted GOP hacks on SCOTUS might have a hard time overturning or ruling against the 1st Amendment if they find that lower courts are upholding the 1st Amendment to rule in favor of the plaintiffs . #Abortion #US #ReligiousBigotry #1stAmendment #FreedomOfReligion #EstablishmentClause #SCOTUS

"While once again taking credit for the end of Roe v. Wade and the constitutional right to an abortion, Donald Trump nonetheless tried to distance himself on Monday from the most extreme anti-abortion positions of his party in an explicit effort to 'win elections.'
The purported abortion position Trump peddled in a video posted Monday on Truth Social is unrealistic, unworkable, and unpopular. Don’t fall for it."

As David Kurtz reports, Trump is – of course – kicking the abortion can down the road, because:
"Remember: Trump must win to avoid prison. He’s not going to let abortion politics foil his strategy to save himself."
So he has just come out with a video explaining his nonexistent position on abortion, in which Trump maunders on about like “life” and “babies” and is absolutely incoherent and claims Democrats favor killing live babies.
