The governor is suing prosecutors in 13 counties with abortion clinics to protect abortion rights should the U.S. Supreme Court overturn Roe v. Wade.www.newsweek.com
In her statement, Whitmer said overturning Roe would affect almost 2.2 million women in Michigan.
"A woman must be able to make her own medical decisions with the advice of a healthcare professional she trusts—politicians shouldn't make that decision for her," the governor said.
Not if you're a RWNJ.Given this, below:
I'm not sure how they came up with, "individual"? Wouldn't "individual" imply post birth?
That is where the case will hinge.Not being a lawyer, I don't understand how someone can be jailed for murder when abortion is legal by federal law.
Women. Are you watching?
"Herrera remains in the custody of the Starr County Sheriff’s Office at this time on a $500,000 bond."
Texas woman charged with murder for ‘self-induced abortion’
A woman has been charged with murder after Texas authorities say she performed a “self-induced abortion.”www.ksn.com

Too many unanswered questions but this could raise some interesting legal issues. For instance, if she took an abortion inducing drug (that's the rumor) that caused the miscarriage, did she take in Mexico or in Texas? If she took it in Mexico, how can Texas charge her for something that is legal to purchase in Mexico? Will Texas be prosecuting women who get abortions in other states in the US?
Oh. I see. I guess.Abortion isn't actually legal under federal law - federal law doesn't have an abortion statute. It's just that current SCOTUS doctrine states that laws banning abortions within certain timelines are unconstitutional.

Virtually every leftist on the planet supports having doctors and medical procedures controlled by politicians. The reason doctors are licensed is to place them under government control, which means under the control of politicians.
i like that the post you're responding to is his first post in this thread.Wow, if only there was a safer way to have an abortion.
in Texas she'll be in prison for probably 40 years.Well, laws are there for a reason. If she willfully murdered her baby then she should suffer the full punishment.

Hospital staff ratted her out.
I’m not sure how that materially changes anything here. By the way, the ASSumption I’m working with here is that this was a self-performed abortion gone wrong, and not something that would have been completely normal to prosecute in San Francisco.

Young women, are you watching how republicans are justifying controlling your decisions? And remember it's gonna get worse.Yes, I'm watching. If you do something to harm your unborn human, why shouldn't you be charged with something?

NEVER forget.
You beat me to it!Does having a driver's license put you under the control of politicians in your state? Do you get 50 lashes every day? Don't know where you live, but having licenses hasn't really made me less free, just more protected against idiots who can't or shouldn't drive.
interestingly, every time i call a person a Republican here they say the same thing.I'm not a Republican.

Because it's no more "an unborn human" than the ejaculate from masturbating is "a million half humans."Yes, I'm watching. If you do something to harm your unborn human, why shouldn't you be charged with something?
