With Roe dead, Republicans call for abortion bans in all states

LA Times  

Former Vice President Mike Pence says social conservatives “must not rest and must not relent until the sanctity of life is restored to the center of American law in every state in the land.” The Supreme Court’s ruling allowing states to set their own abortion laws will immediately halt the procedure in several states and thrust the issue of reproductive rights into this fall’s midterm elections. Former Vice President Mike Pence said Friday that social conservatives in the post-Roe era “must not rest and must not relent until the sanctity of life is restored to the center of American law in every state in the land.” “We will continue to look wherever we can go to save as many lives as possible,” said House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, without getting into specifics about what kind of legislation Republicans would put forward if they take control of the House in the midterm elections. The midterms “will determine whether Republicans can place cruel new restrictions on reproductive rights, ban abortion nationwide with no exceptions, criminalize abortion providers, and punish women,” JB Poersch and Abby Curran Horrell, who run the two main political action committees supporting Democratic congressional candidates, said in a statement. “We’ll be pushing at the state level to establish state constitutional protections, whether that is via ballot initiatives or legislation … and we’re going to be going after these trigger laws,” said Nancy Northup, president of the Center for Reproductive Rights, the abortion rights organization that defended the Mississippi abortion clinic at the center of the Dobbs case.
