@cdarwin@c.imWhat to know about Florida abortion-ban rulings and how voters will have a say
Florida’s Supreme Court ruled that a section of 💥the state’s constitution does not protect abortion, 💥
👉effectively allowing the state to ban abortions after six weeks, when many women may not yet know they are pregnant.
The ruling paves the way for the state to become one of the nation’s @strictest on #abortion
@cdarwin@c.imFlorida’s abortion ban has brought fear and chaos. This is the right’s vision for the US
Florida abortion providers were rushing to perform as many abortions as they could this week, as the days and then the hours dwindled before Florida’s new six-week ban went into effect at the stroke of midnight on Wednesday.
And women, both across Florida and across the south, were rushing to find money, to find transportation, to find a doctor and an appointment in order to end their pregn…

@cdarwin@c.imTrump Wants an Abortion Ban Based on the Weirdest Logic Ever
A new report indicates that Donald Trump wants a more extreme abortion ban if he’s elected president—and also, it’s for the stupidest possible reason.
Politically sensible as it may sound to Trump, a 16-week ban is not founded in medical science.
Abortion is currently banned outright in 14 states, and Trump’s “round-number” ban would represent a rollback of abortion rights in the remaining 36 states.

@cdarwin@c.imAllies of former President Donald J. Trump and officials who served in his administration are planning ways to restrict abortion rights if he returns to power that would go far beyond proposals for a national ban or the laws enacted in conservative states across the country.
Behind the scenes, specific anti-abortion plans being proposed by Mr. Trump’s allies are sweeping and legally sophisticated.
Some of their proposals would rely on enforcing the
@servelan@newsie.social"The reason [Trump is] even talking about a national abortion ban is because supporters are unsatisfied with letting states decide how to regulate abortion, even though state’s rights were key to the Dobbs ruling. They are unsatisfied, because **the anti-abortion movement was never about abortion, but instead a woman’s place in society relative to a man’s**."
